Title: Molding a part Post by: kahonwes on August 07, 2006, 05:59:39 pm Inside my Vendo 44 there is a black plastic sheet that I'm guessing is no longer made. The one that I'm guessing holds the door insulation in, seeing as I havent taken it off the machine yet.
My black plastic plate has various cracks where the screws hold it in and while thinking. I was thinking about making a mold of the plate, then using fiberglass to make a new plate. I figure once painted it would look good, be a nice original replacement and who knows maybe I can make more than one. Anyone on here tinker with making parts for machines. Just looking in my machine I think I could probably replicate alot o the things in the machine. oh and I think I'm addicted to my coke machine now lol k - Just a thought Title: Molding a part Post by: loman4ec on August 07, 2006, 06:13:57 pm Go to www.sodajerkworks.com.
