Thanks for the suggestions. I've worked with vinyl paint but not with Bondo, Marine-tex or
fiberglass matting, so I've got some exploring to do. For sealing the cracks, what do you all think about covering the interior with that texturizing stuff you coat tools with - to get a better grip? Someone else had suggested contact paper but thought maybe off-gassing would be a problem. What the heck is off-gassing? And I confess the workings of this little
fridge are a mystery to me, so I don't want to interfere with its operation. How you can cool/freeze something by burning
propane is beyond me. But then, so is basic electricity. How did I live to get this old and remain so clueless about the way things work? :shg (That's rhetorical, OK?)
