    Default My lip broke, but I replaced it HD style.

    Don't even know how or when it broke. Left the dentist office and that's what I saw.





    So I went to home depot and pick up some stuff to get a quicky cheap replacement.









    I think it came out pretty good for a home depot lip.

    I used garage door liner and double sided adhesive tape. Also used screws as added reinforcement. Just inched it along to line up right.

    I used stailess self tapping screws with recessed washers because the first time i just used the screws and the first thing that tapped it, ripped the lip right off the screw holes.
