Looking for advice on kegerator

I needed to cut some shelving in my mini fridge door. Everything fits perfectly butndo you guys have any idea on how to seal or cover exposed foam in the door ? I am talking about that nasty spray foam they use which makes a lot of dust when you scrape it ?

Duct tape would be the last option ! I was thinking about applying silicone what do you think ?

If you want to make a strong permanent repair and have a little time to work it, here's an option - http://bondo.com/products/fiberglass/bondo-hair-long-strand-fiberglass-reinforced-filler-762.html

You'll need to do some prep - cleaning, taping, etc., and some sanding and painting - but your finished project could look like it came from the factory. If you're going to this level of effort, I'd suggest trimming out the rest of the excess dividers inside the door. That will also make the repair easier as it will have fewer angles to deal with.

If you want to be lazy and cheap give aluminum tape a try. Or the tape that people use to seal seams and corners for insulated application. Like when people make ferment chambers out of insulation and then tape the seams.

I'd go the foil tape route. Duck tape isn't going to hold as well.

Can you just replace the whole plastic shelving with a wood or plexiglass panel?

Thats what I did. I put the door panel down and traced it onto the plexiglass and cut it out, then put the door seal onto the plexiglass, seals just
fine

Did mine similar to FalconsBrew's except used a dense black foam insulation to bump up the R-value.

Really thinking I should have done that, there is practically nothing but cardboard behind once you pull the door off.

On humid days I noticed condensation forming in a few spots on the door. A closer look found that the foam that was blown into the door had bubbles; pockets where there was less or no insulation. The 1/2" thick foam rubber insulation I installed fixed the problem.
