Re: OT: "High" Temperature Paint?

We have a plate-warmer/food-keep-warm drawer located at almost floor

With a plastic knob, it can't be getting _too_ hot - give it a shot; what do you have to lose? :-)

I suspect white-out(liquid paper) is by design a coating that's meant to be rough and porous to catch and absorb inks. That property that will catch oil, dirt, grease, smoke and cleaners. Bad...

A better coating is one that is non-porous (gloss) and chemically bonds to the plastic. But..as I posted before..I hate paint.

I sometimes spray krylon on a stick then apply dot. If you want, you can use HT paint.
