Tape to repair freezer drawer?

[matticus]

Perhaps you need a verb there - adhere?

Glue is glue.........I'll just glue these two bits in place........I'll just adhesive these two bits in place?? Nah. Doesn't work

Or Granddad's going to glue it together

🤣

yebbut you can glue things together with adhesive though

Yeah, I considered that but wasn't sure.

OK. OK. You win. 🤣

For the avoidance of doubt I was being silly!

Oh, don't worry.....that was loud and clear. 🤣🤣🤣

To be fair, it would likely be more efficient if I added "I am not being silly this time" for those few of my posts that required it

The adhesive on glassfibre plaster scrim tape is extremely weak, only really designed to hold the tape in place before you plaster some joint filler into it. I've never tried impregrating it with polyester resin but it might work. How about trying a heavy duty cross weave packaging tape? It has glass fibre strands running at right angles to each other and the adhesive is really aggressive. It should work by itself.

Never say never, but it felt pretty robust while I was refilling it...

Fingers crossed!

And thanks again.

(Don't think I'll be going into the freezer drawer business somehow )

Gaffer tape is your friend.

Gorilla tape's excellent stuff, like many of their products. Also excellent is McNett's Tenacious Tape if you wanted to splash the cash - lives up to its name.
