We have a well functioning microwave oven with a rusty circular track on
the bottom of the oven where the plastic wheels supporting the rotating
glass dish have rolled for several years.

The track looks awful and it's spread to about 3/4" in width now, much
wider than the wheel treads and I'm thinking it may soon rust right
through the oven floor.

I tried painting it with white automotive touchup paint a while back,
but that only lasted about a week before flaking off.

Can someone name a really tough white paint, maybe an epoxy based one,
that I can use to put a heavy durable coating over that rusty "track"?

Failing that, I guess I can take the time to cut a circular band out of
aluminum or stainless sheet metal and epoxy it over the rusted area with
conductive epoxy to avoid the possibility of it arcing to the oven
floor. But that's a bit of work and prolly guarantees that the microwave
will decide to die soon. G

The stain may remain, but there are ways to mitigate without painting.

I do NOT recomend painting inside a microwave. Who knows what's
thepaint going to do.

There is a product called Wink that is mild HF acid with wll remove
almost anythign related to rusting. However, use gloves!

We use a quaternary compound called Unicide 256 from Brulins in
Indiana. That compound removes, reduces rust back to the original.
Not originally intended for that, but it does do it.

We spray it on, rinse off and the rust is always all gone, plus,
cleaned.

rustoleum makes an epoxy paint in a rattle can, used for changing the
color of appliances. available at the borg. it does take a while to
harden fully if you can't warm it up some.

I don't understand flaking off, but epoxy is what I was going to say. You
can't just spray it on top rusty oily surface. I usually use a hair dryer
to speed setting up, and let sit a 2-4 days.

How did you prepare the metal surface before painting it? Because
even car touch-up paint should have lasted a lot longer than a week,
but in general you don't want to use it in a steamy environment
because it's lacquer and is much more porous than enamel. You
should have sanded down to the original primer or to bare metal
and prepared the bare metal with phosphoric acid to make the paint
stick better. Naval Jelly is phosphoric acid and removes rust.
You don't need epoxy paint, just any non-toxic enamel that doesn't
contain pure metal (almost any white enamel will do). Appliance
parts supplies and MCM Electronics sell spray-on microwave oven
cavity paint that's suitable.

Some touch up paint is lacquer. Not all. Having metal or conductance in the
paint will not matter. It's too close to the metal to have any effect at
this frequency.

I have the exact same problem with my MW. It's a GE Brand. I've wanted
to do something about it, but never have. I thought about sanding it to
remove the rust and just coating it with JB Weld. As long as I use the
slow drying stuff, it should settle and make a smooth surface.

I think it's poor design that causes this. Yet the MW itself has always
worked flawlessly.

Lee Valley sells a wood repair epoxy that after mixing is as thin as a paint. It's meant for strengthening rotted wood. You mix two liquids together, and you have about an hour to apply the stuff to the wood before it begins to harden. That's more than enough time to paint bare metal and have the epoxy self level.

If it were me, I'd probably just paint the epoxy on and leave it to cure without covering it with metal. Microwave ovens use the polarilty of water molecules to create heat within the food. This is why a porcelain dish won't get hot in a microwave oven without any food on it. There's no water molecules in porcelain to vibrate in response to the microwaves. Similarily, a glass of water won't get hot until the water inside it gets hot, but the heat in the glass is the result of contact with the hot water. So far as I know, there's no water in epoxy either, so you should just be able to paint it with epoxy and leave it.

Go to Lee Valley and ask about their two part liquid epoxy for repairing rotted wood.

Yes, you can paint it. Would never have happened to begin with if you would have cleaned it like this each and every time since it was new: take a wad of paper towels and wet it really wet, put it in the microwave for two minutes. Take a dry wad of paper towels and put over the hot ones to remove them. Wipe out the hot damp microwave with the dry wad. Works every time and doesn't rust your microwave either.

Isn't that baked on paint originally? How will handle the smell of paint
when painted and oven is used. Ordinary new ovens can be had for ~100.00
of less.

Unless there's a spill that I wipe out, I only clean the oven every
few months and I do it by boiling a dish full of water and then wiping
it out, and I never have any rust.

The paint on my washing machine was baked on but the e-pox-ee spray
paint I used was as hard as new and never chipped. It's amazing but
it's so.

100 dollars is a lot of money for some people. You never seem to
notice that. A half-can of epoxy paint costs 5$, and you'll find out
how much it smells when you're done. I'd venture that after a day's
drying or two and 20 minutes boiling water, even to make coffee, there
won't be any smell. This group is home repair, not home buy new.

I agree about the buying new bit.

I'd suggest the epoxy paint. But let it sit for at least 24 hours, or
48...

I had a MW that rusted around the rollers under the rotating tray. It
was getting real bad, and I was going to paint it too. The MW died
before I got to painting it. So I had no choice but to buy a new one,
because the main board died and was not cost effective to repair.
Actually the part was more than twice the price of a new MW.

Apparently they only sell parts to suckers and idiots....

POR 15, tough as nails

Don't use any metal rings anywhere inside the Uwave. Even on the floor of the oven, if it is not in complete bare metal to bare metal contact with the bare metal floor,there will be circulating currents in the metal ring that will make it get hot, and you might get arcing/sparking also. A ring made of non-metal material should be ok as long as it remains electrically non-conducting. That means no spills, etc., which are hard to completely eliminate in a real-life kitchen.

Well, most oven has removable rotating table. If sonething spill while
cooking, remove table and wash it clean.

I guess so. We never use MW oven for serious cooking any how.

through metal after it explodes while cooking

The Monsanto Glyphosate was originaly invented to clean pipes. That might
work as a coating.

Maybe keep a RoundUp spray bottle in your kitchen and mist your dinner with it.

I wouldn't go around recommending ANY
product of Monsanto's. Not a good
idea.

Glyphosate binds with metal making it sort of inert. It leeches minerals
out of the food and intestines. They usually give crops an extra hit before
harvest.

If I had to wet clean and then dry the microwave every time I used it, that
would rather defeat the purpose of a quick 3-5 minute frozen meal which is
covered by film. If I cook something longer, the food is always covered and
there are no spatters or residue. I wipe out the microwave, including
removing the tray and ring, once a week with a vinegar solution, then a plain
water solution, then dry it. We have never had a problem paint erosion caused
by the rotating ring.
