Epoxy covered shower caddies and dishdrainers--can you repair them?
This is frugal, I realize, but these things invariably develop cracks in the white coating and start to rust from being wet. I'm so sick of having to throw them away and would like to extend their use. We've got enough junk in our landfills. If a little goop could keep one going, I'll be happy to buy some goop.

1. I'd check at a craft store for a liquid vinyl or rubber compound
that is designed for you to dip the item in

4. Hot glue?
It's worth a shot. Cover the crack in hot glue and see what happens.

The liquid rubber dip is really stinky - lots to toluene in it, so highly toxic.
