Default plastic shelf/top-of-bottom-drawer cracked: how to fix?

On Sat 26 Apr 2008 03:45:36p, Clot told us...

Someone a few years (10) ago gave us an old refrig that
we use as 2nd refrig.
That bottom drawer -- slides out -- stationary shelf that
it slides in and out under is clear plastic (other shelves
are made of matrix of metal rods) are of course strong, not likely
to ever break or even bend.

But this bottom (cheap) plastic shelf is cracked and
bending down in the middle.

What can I do to fix it before it completely fails?

What, try to find another piece of hard plastic to
bond to it? Where would I find that?


Of course I could google for replacement, but
it's so old, etc, not really worth too much.



If it were mine, I'd have a piece of tempered glass cut to fit. It's
really not that expensive, and minimal effort on your part. I just
wouldn't bother with trying to fix a piece of old plastic.
