open Ver long desk sagging

Good day everyone,

I just assembled this long office desk (about 87in) made from particle board from Wayfair, but I don’t want it to sag in the middle when my girlfriend and I start adding monitors and other things on top. I’ve never owned a table this long, and I’d like it to not sag in the middle. There are 4 metal beams running under the desk, 2 on each side, but there’s no metal legs. I’ve attached the pictures to this post.

My questions are:
How likely is it to sag?
What can be done? (I dont have a lot of tools beyond a drill and a handsaw)
How much time do I have before it starts sagging?

Fading measurements

Looking to permanently fix this. I was going to use a sharpie but I know it will fade with use. Plus I’m not sure if it will ruin it. Does anyone know what I’m supposed to use to paint the numbers and lines back on? And perhaps how to do it without making a giant mess of it.

open Foster dog chewed on wooden steps, what would be the best way to repair?

So I take in foster dogs occasionally and had one recently that had some separation anxiety issues and ended up chewing the stairs when I stepped away from her. Here are some pics: https://imgur.com/a/4peGRkb

What would be the best way to repair these 2 spots?

Refrigerator door cams

2 Upvotes

I purchased a floor model Frigidaire French door unit five years ago from Lowe's. The doors have never swung shut by themselves and have been driving my nuts ever since.

Although I have done many refrigerator repairs, I had no knowledge of closer cams. In researching, I see that the door lifts slightly when opening, and then the oposite to self close. I will assume that the original assembly left these out, as I see nothing like a cam in there.

Are there two halves, or what? any help with this is appreciated.

Failed clear finish separating

Post image
2 Upvotes

Greetings all, currently restoring a car interior and this veneer around my radio is bothersome. You can see the separation of the clear finish from the veneer above the manual switch and I was thinking about ways to fix this without totally stripping it and putting new clear coat on. I can separate this plate from the head unit to work on, and I was planning on finding some kind of glue I could inject that would dry totally clear to bond it. The little cracks everywhere don’t bother me as much but eventually I may fix it 100%.

yeah we got it second hand. but its loose, like when u grip some "white things" it comes out from the nail.

i believe its made from thin plastic pipe, and iron rode as the main up to down support.

i feel like fi we proceed with nails, its not gonna stand to long since there are alot of holes in the plastic itself

open Broken Glass Oil spray bottle

My mom had this oil spray bottle and really loved it. Today while cooking I placed it a bit hard on the counter and broke it. Is there any way I can fix it because the hole looks pretty fixable and it doesn't have any other cuts. I can't buy a new one because it is not available where i live.

Size of hole: ~3.5cm

Material: Glass

I have a 3D printer but the only materials available are PLA and PETG but I dont think they are good for pouring oil/food items.

Please help because my mom is really mad at me.😔
