I broke the transparent plastic meat drawer in my refrigerator. It's
broken in a zig, zag pattern. I tried gluing it with some Mxbon 105
Cyanoacrylate adhesive that had become so thick that it was very hard
to use.

I glued the broken edges together and then tried to reinforce the
repair with fiberglass screen covered in baking soda but since the
glue didn't sink into the baking soda, I wasn't able to reinforce the
repair. I had to remove the fiberglass screen and the baking soda
because it wasn't attacked to the drawer at all.

Before the glue got so thick, it would soak into the baking soda and
form a substance as hard as a rock.

The un-reinforced repair failed in one day.

Is there any way I can thin out the Mxbon glue so that I can use it
with baking soda?

Is there another type of glue that would be better for this
application?

I have some pieces of Lexan. Would gluing a piece of lexan over the
damaged area be better than the screening, baking soda, and
Cyanoacrylate glue? If it would, what glue would be the best to
attach the Lexan sheet?

Thank you in advance for all answers.


SCIGRIP 16 10315 Acrylic Cement, Low-VOC, Medium bodied has worked great for any of my refrigerator repairs. It will also bond rigid PVC, ABS, styrene, butyrate, polycarbonate to themselves and each other, as well as other plastics and porous surfaces

Wonder if the 2002 guy has the same fridge?

I'd be inclined to just phone up some used appliance shops and see if you can buy that plastic shelf from one of their old fridges.

Often used appliance shops will cannibalize all the parts from several fridges to make one fridge that's in good shape. That leaves them with lots of left over parts from the remaining fridges they aren't selling.

....or call the manufacturer. I had a 15 year old GE fridge a few years
back. The plastic drawers (not sure what kind of plastic they were) had
a lifetime warranty. When one of them cracked, I contacted GE. They
sent a free replacement.

I don't see the original note, I assume it was cross posted from
another group but if this is a Whirlpool side by side, I may have a
good drawer I could be sweet tallked out of.

Greg, IDK that you could be sweet talked out of your drawers! (g)
