Like Bob's Admiral, Captain Dana would not want a solution that could not be removed and cleaned, it's a nurse thing!
A different angle might be to drill a hole in the center of the glass plate with a ceramic tile drill bit and a hole into the rotator deep enough for a non metallic peg epoxied in?
Good luck _________________ Micah Curtis and Dana, RN

Micah, I am glad to see you are finally taking this problem seriously. We all have our burdens, some just seem more real when it is cold and blowing and raining outside all the time. All the durn time!!
When you go all out and splurge for the $69 dollar model the plate still comes out with the deal glued on. The tape seals the space between the plastic and glass and the flux capacitor zaps any germs that try to get in.
Here it is - another problem solved by this great forum:

If your tape fails too soon, try GE silicone. I've used it to caulk the sauna's wood stove flue against a metal plate in the sauna wall. Worked great for many many sauna seasons (sauna season = all year). Once I tried the Permatex high temp (red) gel gasket and it did not last nearly as long as the GE stuff.
here's to good popping, Jay |

If you need something else - try high temp Loctite RTV 5920 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker. It's good to 600F. _________________ Roger on Meant to be |

This is the very popcorn problem that Jason from South of Heaven has been trying to solve for years. Why else would he have moved from the otherwise perfect C-Dory 16 up through

2003 C Dory 19' Angler (80 hp Yamaha, sold 7/16)
2007 C Dory 25' Cruiser (200 hp Suzuki, sold 7/17)
2000 Camano 31 Troll (Volvo TAMD41p) (SOLD 2/19)
2005 Silverton 35 Motoryacht (Twin 385 Crusaders)
I think that the Silverton has twin flux capacitors in the microwave. _________________ MartyP
