Subject:      Availability of replacement dish drainers?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Rather than purchase and experiment with various noxious solvents to
remove the melted* undercounter bumpers from my 84 Westy's dish drainer
(see "Goopy stuff on dish drainer" thread for background), it might be
easier to simply replace the thing.

Are the stainless steel dish drainers available, new or used?


=======================
* I don't know how to effectively describe the sticky, grippy, tenacious
nature of this stuff. A wire brush would immediately gum up. A paint
scraper would get globbed up in a second, with thick strands of this
substance between the lifted scraper and the stuff remaining on the
drainer, and it would never remove the stuff completely anyway: it's in
the pores of the metal. Think honey on hardboard rather than paint on metal.
