Light Gray Coating for Dishwasher Rack Repair with 25 caps – Uber Goop (0.5 oz) Patch, Light Gray

This repair product has held up very well for several months, and I am very pleased with the appearance. I let it set overnight and have not had any indication of failure. It's easy to use, and I would recommend it.

The dishwasher racks came without the rubber protective nipples and the coating was wearing off. The dishwasher was only about a year old, and worked great, but was looking old and cruddy! This coating sealed the wear marks, and the nipples stopped the damage. Dishwasher still looks great. Great value. Use dish soap to lube the tines and the nipples go on easy.

Works well but it is really for one use. Once you open the bottle use all you need because next time you try to use it, it will be dried up. Once it gets air in it, thats it. Also be careful as the smell is very strong! Does work well though…

I bought this to repair the exposed and rusty tines on my dishwasher racks, which had permanently stained my dishes. There were also a few places on the rack frames that were exposed and rusted, too. I bought the kit that had 25 tips and a bottle of liquid about the size of a bottle of nail polish. I had to spend a good amount of time cleaning up the damaged areas with a Dremmel tool, and many of the tines had damage below the area the tip would cover. I half expected the tips on these to come off the first time running the machine after the repair. The instructions recommended covering the bottle while using the brush, so I wore a nitrite glove and kept my thumb over the opening while I was painting on the product and fitting the tips. The product does dry fast but not too fast to get the tips in place. After everything was covered I went back and painted some product at the base of each tip and applied a second coat to everything. Twice during the application I added a couple of drops of nail polish remover with acetone to the bottle to thin the product. I let this cure for a day then ran the machine. Everything held fast and it looks almost new! I thought the product was too expensive for what it was, but it is much cheaper than new racks or a new dishwasher, so I can't complain. There was even a little bit of leftover liquid. Even though my racks are white, only the light gray was available when I ordered so I went with that. It is extremely light and the repaired areas are almost unnoticeable. Since using this product I have run the machine a couple dozen times and it still looks great and the repairs are holding up well. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I would buy it again and recommend it to others. Edit 11/6/2023-after 9 months of use (4 loads per week) the caps on the tines are holding up really well. I applied some of the paint to other areas of the basket frame that were rusting and these repairs have not held up well at all. I reapplied once and it didn't take long for rust to break through again. It could be that the paint is not meant to be used alone. If you just have tines that need to be recovered I would still highly recommend this as a fix.

Great product! I have a small counter dishwasher. They don’t make new racks, so I salvaged my current rack with rust! I’m very happy with the results. Also put the rubber nipples over the rack ends to protect the rack. Easy product to use. Hopefully it lasts along time.

I was so amazed how well this coating is to use. The rust on my dishwasher rack is completely covered and has lasted six months so far. So much better than buying a new rack.

Time will tell if this product deserves a 1 star or possibly a 4 star review. You don't get a lot of product for the price unfortunately. It's basically a bottle the size of nail polish. Yes, the lid does have a brush attached so you use that to coat the product on. It goes quickly so if your dishwasher had most of the tines rusting you'll go through it quickly especially if you plan on doing 2 coats. It does dry quick. I'm hoping it will last and stay in place once I run the dishwasher over months and years. The 25 caps would be great IF the tines that I wanted to put them on had stayed the same thin size as originally made. Unfortunately, most of the tines that I wanted to use the caps on had deteriorated and expanded so I wasn't able to use the caps. Plus, if you're using the product to " glue " them on then you're really going to run out of product quickly. Overall, I'm glad I used this product and hopefully it will help extend the life of the racks. I do think it's a bit expensive for what you get. Last little tid bit, good luck just " cutting " the ends of the tines off. I tried wire cutters and a dremmel tool but that wire in the middle of the tine is a tough match to get off easily. I'm sure there's an easier way but I found it difficult.

Seems to have worked very well. The only reason for not having 5 stars is just that it's only been 1 month since the fix.
