I have a toaster that belonged to my girlfriend's grandparent, and it holds a lot of sentimental value. Unfortunately, it got damaged during a move, and now there's a hole in the side of it. The electronics still work perfectly, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix it while keeping its emotional significance intact. I'm considering either using high heat-resistant clay or finding some metal to patch it up. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Another option is to find the exact model on eBay and replace the damaged part directly. That way you maintain the original while getting it back to shape!
One idea is to buy an identical toaster and just swap out the damaged panel. It's kind of like creating the Toaster of Theseus! Plus, you keep all the memories attached without risking any safety issues since you're working with a new part.
I love this idea! It's a cool way to preserve that sentimental value without the hassle of fixing it yourself.
Honestly, it might just be better to get a new toaster. Trying to fix it could lead to safety risks, you don't want it to become a fire hazard.
Great suggestion! I bet the hole is in a plastic part rather than metal, so getting a new one would definitely be easier and safer.
