rust in the microwave?

Question

i have rust in my microwave, and can't afford a new one till after christmas. is there something like a coating i could buy to cover it as a temp, solution?

Answer 1

Ask for a microwave for Christmas. May need to ask everyone to club together, but at least you wouldn't have to pay for it yourself.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, covering rust in a microwave is very dangerous. It is not like a car.

You cook food in them which could become contaminated.

Microwaves are not safe to use if rusty, they could explode. I should take up using other methods of cooking until you can afford another one.

Safety is very important here, a rusty microwave is a dangerous piece of kitchen equipment. For the sake of your family and yourself do not use it. Get a new one asap, they can be as cheap as 29 pounds in the likes of Argos or Asda.

Answer 3

If you have rust you must have bare metal which will make the microwave spark or arc! this is just a stop gap till you can get a new one. rub down the rust and paint three or four layers of heat resistive paint or ceramic paint make sure you don't use metallic paint, should be good for a couple of month
