Fridge Repair

[gbaglo]

There is a reason you're not supposed to travel with heavy items in shelves on the door. I had two liters of milk and two of OJ and I forget what else on the bottom shelf. Got home to find the part that holds the shelf in place had snapped off.
I epoxied it back together. I looked at my epoxy repair, figured I should try to reinforce it, found a piece of aluminum corner bead in my shop that would work, I even dry-fitted it and then epoxied that in place. I think this repair is going to be way stronger than the original.

Could you not just use the existing shelf as a mould to cast a new one out of iron. That would surely handle the jostling on the road.

Good thing to consider though, as I know we often have lots of weight on the door shelves.

Here's pix of the fridge shelf installed. The aluminum "angle iron?" "corner bead?" came from Rona. I'm pleased.

Good job!
