Subject: [Shop-talk] Plugging holes in refrigerators
I have acquired a kegerator. It lives in the garage.=C2=A0
(This has impacted my efficiency in the shop.)
The previous owner drilled two holes in side of the unit for drain and gas =
lines. I don't have a floor drain, so my drain line is going to a bucket in=
the unit, and my gas tank lives in there, too.
I finally got around to cleaning up those lines and now I have two irregula=
r holes in the side of my kegerator, leaking out 34=C2=B0 air.
Whomever did these was not interested in his workmanship. They're .5 inch b=
y .75 inch, more or less, so round plugs really don't work. The sheet metal=
is also pretty jagged. I thought about drilling then out to a uniform shap=
e, but I really don't want to make them bigger.
I could masking tape one side and spray foam them, but I'm hoping the outsi=
de could be a little more permanent.
Anybody have thoughts? All opinions welcome._______________________________=
