[C320-list] Frig gaskets

[Pat Moriarty]

I did this about a year ago and the acetone and lacquer thinner are 
not too friendly to the plastic. You will do most of it with a putty 
knife. You just need a smooth and level surface to bond to and it 
will stick to the glue or the plastic. The white gasket sure made a 
more pleasing appearance when you look it the frig.
