I HAVE A RUST IN MY MICROWAVE INSIDE, HOW AND WHAT KIND OF COLOR I NEED?
Jerry G. said:There are specialized paints for microwave ovens. Contact the
manufacture service department of your unit for details. The rust would
have to be properly sanded and polished to a smooth surface. The paint
has to be made out of a chemical base that is safe to use in a food
environment, and also not be heated by the microwaves, causing poisonous
fumes, or toxins to the food being cooked.
Arthur Jernberg said:Almost all paints specially engineered for this use are epoxy base paints. A
special item that may be obtained as said at the appropiate appliance
servicer. Do not try to use just any enamle base paint unless you actually
just want to produce a non-operational peice of art.
Sam Goldwasser said:Do you have a reference that will confirm this? The only purpose of the
paint is to protect the steel interior. As long as it is non-toxic and
non microwave absorbing, there is no technical reason it won't be just fine.
There is nothing magical about microwave oven paint and spray cans of
the stuff are sold by service parts suppliers. "Specially engineered"
may be another name for "relabeled so we can charge 10 times ans much".
