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.

In fact, this is STILL a good question... I have a broken "crisper drawer" in my Whirlpool refrigerator and I'm looking for solutions!!

does the plastic feel waxy like a Tupperware container? If so, you're
sol; that family of plastics is very difficult to work with. Is it stiff
and sort of brittle? Try a little acetone (nail polish remover) in an
inconspicuous place. If it softens the surface, Duco should work. The
solvents may result in a stronger bond than CA.

The best solution is just to watch the side of the road and get one
from a fridge someone is throwing out

It is 2019, and the question still remains... What IS the €œBest glue for a clear plastic refrigerator drawer€�?

Thank you for the responses in 2017, I found them most helpful. 😊

The best solution is to watch the side of the road and get a drawer
from a junk fridge. If this is Whirlpool there are really only a few
drawers.

I would use Crazy Glue.

Probably methylene chloride, or GOOP.
