Thank you for this video. Much better solution than spending a couple of hundred dollars new rack that may or may not fit. going to give it a try.

You're welcome!!

Thanks for this! I just noticed 2 places where they are damaged pretty badly, I hope this can fix it. Unfortunately, it's not at the top of the tines like you, it's at the bottom so I won't be able to put those protectors. I kept seeing rust spots mostly on my knives and I didn't know why lol now I'm guessing it comes from this !

When you run the vinegar through to clean the racks do you also add dishwasher detergent like normal or just the vinegar?

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Just vinegar. 👍

@AbbottsAtHome cool thanks. I just moved into a new apartment and gotta fix my racks. I appreciate the help.

Hi, I cannot get ahold of ReRack in Europe. Would you recommend some plastic glue as a substitute?

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Hi Viktor. I just checked Amazon UK for any keywords I could think of to replace ReRack. I couldn't find anything that looked similar. I can tell you it's a brush-on liquid vinyl. I looked at Plastic Glue. I'm not sure it would last. The product would need to be heat-resistant, water-resistant, and chip resistant (with plates and cups banging against it. You could always test Plastic Glue on 1 spot and see how it holds up. Or, try asking an older guy at a hardware store. Some of them are amazing at repairing EVERYTHING. Good luck!!

Re rack is the product name. It's made by plasti-dip

I'd like to see an update on the repair. How long does it take for rust to reappear.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Good question. I just noticed 2 spots starting to show up last week. So, it's been about 1 1/2 years. I'll likely try to sand a retreat those spots soon, before they get too big.

ReRack Coating (Amazon Ad amzn.to/3ay2Evg ) Dishwasher Tine Caps (Amazon Ad amzn.to/3RpeAA0 ) Gator Micro Sander (Amazon Ad amzn.to/3NSo4Rq ) See the written steps to repair rusty dishwasher racks here: www.abbottsathome.com/fix-your-rusty-dishwasher-rack/

[@AnnieIsaLau]

Can you use any type of sand paper?

[@catherineterry9110]

Oh my gosh thank you. I have Rebak and will get the cover for prongs. Course grate sandpaper micro gripe. My dishwasher is nine years old. Replacing rack is expensive. Any ideas for that. Catherine.

I had rusty racks in my apartment dishwasher, told the maintenance for repairs, and I think they literally just PAINTED the racks white. I suppose it's covered the rust spots, but that's got to be toxic dont you think?! I open the dishwasher and it smells like PAINT! I haven't used it yet because if this reason. Wondering if you have any experience with that or if you've heard of anyone who has done that. Thanks!

[@AbbottsAtHome]

It’s possible there’s a spray that is dishwasher safe. It’s also possible it’s just normal spray paint. Sorry but I have no idea if it’s safe or not after drying. 🙁

​@@AbbottsAtHome What is liquid vinyl and can you use that on a regular dish rack, a drainer?

[@theanimaster]

The paint would be a ceramic paint I would imagine. Ceramic is the only thing that would coat well, is waterproof, and can withstand the heating element.

[@pichhout4984]

Does re-rack make it easier for the covers cap to go in?

[@AbbottsAtHome]

I don’t think it makes it easier or harder.

[@andrew2900]
