Default Re: Improvising with Household Items.

I have a Philips Music Maid clock radio with a bakelite case. There are moulded bars over the speaker aperture many of which were broken and missing. I found that Sainsbury's wooden barbeque skewers were just the right size to replace them and easy to cut to size. I araldited them in to place and painted them with dark umber oil paint. Although the repair can still be seen it is very effective and looks much better than the hole previously there.
