Durable paint for the inside of a microwave oven
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 Thanks guys, Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) The speed of light is 1.8*10^12 furlongs per fortnight. |

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. |

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. Greg |

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. |

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. |

Durable paint for the inside of a microwave oven
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.

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

Durable paint for the inside of a microwave oven
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 something spills while cooking, remove table and wash it clean. But if any of the spill gets onto the new "ring" the turntable wheels ride on, if it sinks into the "ring" then the ring will start to become conductive and the uwaves will start to heat it up and the results are impossible to predict. |

It leeches minerals out of the food and intestines. They usually give crops an extra hit before harvest. Greg |

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. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...en-725404-.htm |
