Any handymen....please step inside!

Just a thought - I don't know if this would work...

First remove the rust - naval jelly should do the trick there without a lot of scraping, etc.

Second, coat with a rubberized coating - you can find this in knick-knack catalogs and is usually sold to coat the handles of things like pliers, and other such tools.

This is all theoretical - if you try it, let me know if it works as my dishwasher's rack is rusting too.

You can get that at any Canadian Tire store.

Then Bonnie will have something else I want to dip my tool in.

I forget who it was up there who suggested re-powder coating the racks. Powder coating is a dry powder that is sprayed onto the metal them baked in an oven to make it virtually indestructable.

The supplier I use for this is (no comments PLEASE lol) Byers Bush....sorry, don't have the number handy but they're in the book. You may have to scrape off the existing coating though and unless you want to pay a premium, you may have to go with whatever colour they are running at the time.

powdercoating will do the trick.But be sure to make sure they clean and pre-treat the metal properly.wire is tough to coat unless it has been pickled. the best bet is to have it dipped in nylon,vinal or pvc some powder coating shops do both

powder tech in brampton
powder coaters in north toronto
coatings 2000 in woodbridge

if you need to remove coating ask them if they have a cold stripper,this will properly remove the coating.

Whirlpool is made in Marion OH. Been there..In fact..I pulled a trailer full of them from there to Toronto last summer. Maytag is made in Iowa and Pennsylvania. For some reason. appliances seem to last forever at my house. Our first washer and dryer lasted over 20 years. The refridgerator I have right now is a little over 15 years old and is running fine..it's hard to catch it when I want a beer....hehe..There still some good stuf built in North America...
