While fasten the MW to the Wall (it's an over the stove model) I inadvertently drilled holes through the bottom edge (in the corner) of the cabinet.:mad:


This morning my wife gave me the “good news, bad news” bit good news the MW is still on the wall, bad news she found metal shavings inside:eek: .

The screws are barely visible from the inside.

Is there any danger of leakage or heating the wall studs (fire)?
If there is no danger, what can I use to seal the hole?

Thanks for your help,

Danny

Any way you can post a picture of what your talking about? Are the screws coming through the inside cavity of the M/W?

I'll try to get a picture posted tomorrow, however when you open the door and look at the back lower edge the screws are barely visable. When I drilled the holes I was angling upward, so the screws broke through the inside floor(?) in the back corner where the back and the bottom are joined.

Thanks for your consideration and effort,

Danny
