Keystone kitchen drawer question

[hidefman]

So we are getting our camper ready for the year .. we had some mice get in it .. we’ll I’m looking for a new kitchen cabinet drawer cause they built their nest in it .. the drawer is full of mouse piss now so I’m wondering where to get a new drawer for it now?? Anyone have any ideas where to find one ?? Thanks in advance… I only need the box part .. not the face or drawer glides..

Dont know where to get a new box, however if your handy at all and have a circular saw, that would be an easy refab since you already have the glides and face. Sorry thats not a lot of help but just a thought.

I would think you could clean up the drawer with bleach. If not, take the drawer to a local cabinet maker. They’ll be able to mount the drawer face and slides on a new box for you.

There should a product out there somewhere that would neutralize that odor.
But to have a drawer built by you or a local carpenter or cabinet shop would be far easier, better built & most likely much cheaper than trying to locate or buy that cheaply made rv model.

I understand that the thought of reusing the drawer might be nasty, but an original replacement if you could find one on Trekwood is likely prohibitively expensive. I would feel comfortable using B.I.N. sealer (an oil-based white pigmented or clear shellac) to seal the drawer body. It works well for smoke/soot.

Two hard scrubbings, heavy on the bleach. Two smooth coats of clear wood sealer or Kilz. CWS is better. Go on with life.

Yep, a couple of "good deep cleanings followed by clorox sanitizing" and then a couple coats (inside and outside) to the wood box and what's left of any "unpleasant odor or stain" will be "forever entombed deep inside, never to escape or affect your sensibilities again".....

Or you could think of it the same way as your grill at home.... If you knew how many nights the "local field mice" visited the inner workings of your grill, you'd never toss another steak on it to "cook to perfection and enjoy".....
