I have a Sanyo domestic microwave oven approximately 8 years old that
still functions all right. The problem is that the floor of the oven
on which the glass turntable rotates on its spindle is rusted through
in one or two places. The turntable still rotates okay, but if the
floor is left to rust through further, sooner or later the little
carrier wheels that support the turntable will get trapped and the
turntable will lock up or something.

How could I repair the base of the oven? I have thought of Kurust
first, followed by a layer of epoxy resin soaked fibreglass from
Halfords. Any other ideas? It seems daft to buy a new microwave if the
actual heating feature works fine.

Really not a smart idea. Rust holes are an immediate safety test
failure as they tend to let the microwave radiation out. Time for a
new oven. Next time keep an eye open and sort any rust long before it
gets that bad.

Yeah, I just thought it was gravy stains...

Anyway, you've all twisted my arm! I'm off to Comet in a few minutes.
