Re: Bush VHF64 Dishwasher blues.......!!
I think I'd get ahold of one good button or knob and make a mold of the bottom of it and the top as a 2 piece.
Then I would try to heat the plastic with a heat gun and force it back into shape by using the 2 mold halves. I'd probably use Ultracal or Hydracal as the mold material, and let it dry thoroughly. It has minimal shrinkage if not left to set over a week. maybe 1-2% IIRC. It appears you don't have much to lose by trying, anyway. My 2 cents worth. |

Hi Mick - that would have been perfect (I only wanted the piano keys!) but sadly it's now been sold...
Many thanks for the offer!! Bryan |
