Microwave tie down?

[Mollysdad]

I have the tiny Contoure microwave on a pull out drawer.
It works fine.....but the microwave just sits on a shelf that is on rollers.
It moves around, even if you're just pushing the buttons.
So I added non-skid and although that helps, it still moves and bunches up the non skid.
So I added small stainless brackets at the back. Used industrial Velcro to attach the microwave. It still moves.

Has anyone come up with a permanent solution?
I hate drilling holes in the microwave. My next science project will be to screw into the small 'feet' of the unit from underneath. (Really just bumps in the base, thinking there's no circuits in there.)

Hi

Since the microwave is pretty much a "throw away" once you start bashing holes in it ....

Mount blocks (probably wood) to the microwave with VHB tape. Then put screws / bolts through the blocks into the drawer surface. As long as you don't block up any ventilation there should be pretty limited risk involved.

Plan B: If there are screw on feet on the microwave, pull them and put the blocks there. Proceed as above with the blocks.

I like the idea of VHB tape. I already have brackets mounted.
However, the stuff Amazon sells, according to the reviews, is repackaged from big rolls, and is not the same bond as the real stuff.

UPDATE: Unless I want to buy a roll 72 yards long, it's going to be precut by a supplier.

Hi

72 yards probably would be a lifetime supply
