*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.

Interesting trick, how do they cut tempered glass?


I don't really know, but it's done everyday, and I've had pieces cut.
The last "project" was to replace some awful flimsy plastic shelves in
two medicine cabinets. I needed the tempered for strength.

No, it's cut first, then tempered.


Well, whatever, it works.
