Einleitung

Rust can appear after a few years inside a microwave, particularly to the area the tray rollers run over. This guide covers cleaning and applying touch up paint to the affected areas.

    • an enamel paint is required but it is not special for microwaves, e.g. the small tins used for modeling will do

    • unplug the microwave!

    What about clear nail varnish..no colour being the aim

    • remove the glass tray and roller ring

    • rub the affected area with wirewool

    • wipe away any debris with a dry cloth

  3. xQsjUdUcbOZRgg23

    • shake the tin

    • apply a thin coat with the brush

    • give the paint at least 6 hours to dry

    • apply 1 or 2 more coats as appriopriate

    How do you repair the hole?

Thanks so much!!! I got a small microwave from a rental unit ( it was rusted ans I thought i would be excellent for my fishing cabin ( in the wine country ). I WANTED TO USE EPOXY OR ENGINE PAINT!!! The mention set so many individuals at multiple sites off to saying things about toxic fumes and other ridiculous things. there’s even a special paint Amazon sells!!! https://www.google.com/search?client=fir...
