The New Hotness

Our new chest freezer has three baskets sliding along ridges just under the lid, but they seem to be just slightly too short for the ridge spacing. After having a basket fall off the rails once too often, I cut shims from 3 mm white acrylic and stuck them in place with double-sided foam tape to soak up the extra space:

Each shim is 300×8 mm with the neatly rounded corners that are easy to do with a laser. They may not look like they grew there, but it’s tidy enough.

Perhaps the situation should have become a warranty claim, but a few minutes applying a tool to material I have on hand made the problem Go Away.

Which is entirely good enough for me and pretty much what I do around here most of the time anyway.
