    In-genius idea and execution. I have the problem with the drawers sagging on the bottom from too much weight being put in the drawer and the drawer being hard to slide back and forth. I am going to give your idea a whirl and see if it works. Lucky for me the type of resin in my drawers is the same number 5 so I can use 300F too. It works like a champ and restored the drawer perfectly. My model is the Sterilite wide drawer and the bottom is much thinner plastic so I only used my broiler pan with a 48 oz bottle to weight it down. Both the heating with the oven turned off and the cooling process took about 6 minutes each. Weight it down on whatever side is warped to force the warp down. Mostly the heating restored the shape but a person wants to weight it down to reinforce the memory as it is cooling down again to room temperature. If a person is doing several I would suggest turning down the oven to 280 degrees (plastic numbered 5) for subsequent trials. Always remember to turn off the oven when the preheating is finished.

      Obviously they can't tell you to put it in the oven, because you'd be the first one to sue them if the thing goes on fire or you get burned. It's just common sense.

    Ok this has nothing to do with a plastic drawer top but I had a plastic based desk lamp the kind with the bendy swivel metal neck. The lamp got left outside in the summer heat a year ago and warped onto itself so the lamp wouldn't stand upright it was going to get tossed. But after watching this video and figuring I could use my blow dryer on high in specific spots to reshape it with pliers and push on it covering my hands it would go back into shape, it did! So thank you for posting this video.

    This doesn't work for pyrex lids! I followed the directions exactly (starting to wonder why I was smelling plastic after about three minutes in the oven). I now have globs of blue and red on the floor of my oven. But I should have realized this wouldn't work for these lids because the packaging instructions say to NOT put lids in dishwasher unless on top shelf. Duh ... 😖

    • @mars1952
      @mars1952  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The various types of plastic have different melting points. You need to adjust the temperature accordingly. The oven should be hot but turned off and you need to closely monitor the process.

    YAY!! I've been contemplating getting rid of two special Halloween dinner trays I bought years ago for my oldest granddaughters. But the warp in the center of both is such a hinderance. I was about to donate today when my oldest granddaughter expressed sorrow about it lol! I found your video, and now, thanks to you, these are flat in the center and can be used for my two youngest grandsons! Thank you!!

    If you were truly relying on the "memory" of the plastic to retake the original shape, then you wouldn't need to apply a weight while it cools.

    Thank you SO MUCH for this hack and posting it! You saved me SO MUCH frustration with my rolling cart! I stayed next to the oven after preheating it. I put the plastic leg of my 3-tier cart (the shelf with the handle attached has a warped section on just one of the legs' connection areas and it's so large that I can't fit it into my oven so I decided to remold one side of the detachable legs that go between the shelf racks) onto the top rack away from the bottom heating elements. It only took 3 minutes before I started smelling the plastic, so I reached in and felt the plastic with my microfiber cloth and it DID give way so I took it out and put it back onto the top shelf's warped leg piece and then reassembled it back with the rest of the cart to make sure that it would mold properly and the bottom side of the leg didn't get messed up while I was remolding the top! 😩💨 I was a bundle of nerves for about 5 minutes and then totally excited afterwards! 😁👍 So thanks a bunch!!! 💕💕💕

    I had two tops to try with this. They are decades old. Mine did not even have a recycle symbol to identify the plastic! I tried the 300 degrees (utter failure) so I let the oven cool down more and tried 270 (oven off, for both). Ruined it, too. If I were to do it again, I'd take more time, starting at the lowest temp my oven had and work up. However, I suspect it was the type of plastic, not the technique. It's a very brittle type of plastic, not the more flexible kind used now. It was like a light switch on the checks... okay, not soft; okay, not soft; already ruined on the next check. Neither was in over 5 min. total. It smelled like the vac-u-forms we played with in the 1960's.
    Fast forward to what to do? The bases and vertical uprights that support the drawers were still fine. My solution? FOAM CORE BOARD! I traced a base - slightly larger to allow for a little extra on each side - and then marked where the vertical supports come through onto foam core board. I very carefully cut this out with a utility knife.
    So far, so good, on both the 3 drawer and 2 drawer sets. I store crafting items, and can place one drawer set per shelf on a bookcase shelf, so nothing stacks on top of it. I was basically trying to find a way to keep the uprights where they belonged so I could still use the drawers. 🤞

      Some people are not capable of even the simplest DIY projects. As Dirty Harry once said, "A man's got to know his limitations."

    I tried this but because I'm scared, i put the lid in the oven and set it to 170F. I checked it every couple minutes and the lid was soft before it was even done preheating

    • @mars1952

      You must preheat the oven and turn the oven off before you put the plastic in to soften. I am glad you didn't melt your lid.

      @@mars1952 on a very low temp I didn't have a prob and I checked it every couple minutes. If I set it to 300 then maybe it would've melted. Thanks for the tip tho I never would've thought to put it in the oven

    What do you put it on inside the oven? Are you putting it straight onto hot metal racks?

    • @QueenNemesis327
      @QueenNemesis327 ปีที่แล้ว

      I put mine on the rack but I put it in cold, set the oven to 170F and checked every couple minutes. It was done before it reached 170

    I had some large 3 drawer containers like this and since I couldn't figure out how to get the lids off without breaking the plastic I used a hair dryer and then heavy weighted stuff and let it sit for awhile. Seemed to work well. I wish these types of containers had stronger tops.

      Planned obsolescence. Same reason why their laundry basket handles break after a year or so.
