In this video, I'll show you a simple and effective method how I fixed a broken plastic refrigerator shelf using materials many of you already have at home.
Liquefying ABS Plastic:
How to prepare a liquid plastic at home?
Break the CD box into small pieces and place them into the small container. 💿➕🥣
Pour acetone over the plastic pieces, just enough to cover them. 🧪
Wait for the plastic to dissolve, stirring occasionally to help the process. This creates a thick, glue-like substance. 🔄
Applying the Liquid Plastic:
Using the applicator, carefully apply the liquid ABS plastic to the broken edge of the broken plastic item. 🖌️
Allow the repair to dry and cure completely.
Be cautious when working with acetone as it is a strong solvent! Ensure good ventilation and avoid direct skin contact! ⚠️
Testing the Repair:
Once dried, reattach the shelf to the refrigerator door. 🚪🧊
Gently test the stability of the repair to make sure it can hold the weight of items. ✔️
By following these simple steps, you can save money and extend the life of your refrigerator shelf. No need to buy a new one when you can fix it yourself with ABS plastic and acetone!
