Lining a lazy Susan cupboard

I have two of those lazy Susan type cupboards where the roundish shelves
just sort of go around and around. The cupboard is not a complete circle.
I had previously lined them with white Contact paper but that didn't work so
well. I couldn't get a piece that was the right size so I wound up piecing
some together. It looked like crap. I decided to remove the paper in the
flour cupboard after I discovered the weevils. That cupboard has since had
pretty much everything replaced except for the salt.
The other cupboard has mainly canned goods but the liner is old looking and
starting to rip.
I have bought some of that spongy liner with the holes in it in the hopes
that it will keep things from sliding. One problem I've had is stuff flying
off the sides as the shelves spin around.
But how to cut it? This might be easier to install because it is more
flexible. I had purchased some white liner online that just didn't work at
all. It was very stiff and slick and even when cut in pieces there turned
out not to be enough of it. I am not sure the stuff I have now is big
enough to be able to put just one piece in. I don't really know how to
explain it but the curved design is baffling me. Also the fact that I can't
access the entire cupboard at once. I can only get to like...half of it or
so.
Any ideas? Or hmmm... Maybe I could pay my nephew to do the lining for me.
He's had a heck of a lot more math than I have.

don't even have room to store paper products in the kitchen. They are in
the garage. I do have a small pullout cabinet to store things like plastic
bags. I freaking hate those pullouts too but all of my lower cabinets are
those. Things fall behind just as they fly off the shelves of the lazy
Susan. I just ordered some new reaching tools. It is hard for me to get
back there.

thing? I've dealt with those corner cupboard lazy susan things in my
parents' homes and my siblings' homes, and I had them in one of my
kitchens once, and I've not experienced anything flying off. Falling
over, yes, but never falling off or flying anywhere.

or cardboard and use a thumb tack to hold the axis and poke a hole at
the measured end and use a pencil through the hole to trace it on your
material. You'll need to trim it out at the axle.

There is no kitchen redoing. It should be very easy to remove the
lazy susan, all you need is a screw driver and someone who can reach
into the cabinet to remove the bracket at the top, then the whole
assembly lifts out so you can remove the bottom bracket, or just leave
it there... I'd reattach the top bracket as well so it doesn't get
misplaced in case someone wants to reinstall the lazy susan.

sheets together to cover the whole area. Then I just folded the
newspaper along the edges until it was the shape I wanted.
I lined my lazy susan shelves with vinyl flooring. Very sturdy
and I take it out and scrub it once a year or so.

sheets together.
You need some string, a pencil and a tape measure or ruler. Tie the
pencil onto one eld of the string.
Measure the width of your lazy susan across the middle. That's the
diameter of the circle. The radius of the circle is half the diameter. Cut
the string to half the diameter.
Put the cut end in the middle of the paper, hold it with one finger.
With the other hand, hold the string taut and the pencil straight and use
it to draw a circle. Cut it out. That;s your pattern.
If your Lazy susan has a centre spindle you'll need a centre cut out on
the patternpaper to fit round it. Fold your paper circle in half, then in
quarters, and cut off the point. Now cut a straight line from the centre
hole to one edge of the circle. Lay your paper pattern on the lazy susan
to check it's a good fit.

Geez, Julie, it isn't rocket science - how do you make a pattern for
anything? You can access the curved edge of the shelf by turning it
around - just cut a bunch of pie-shaped pieces (use just one small
piece of newspaper to make one pie-shaped piece that has the proper
curvature on it) and tape them together to exactly fit the shelf. I
guess you would have to empty the shelf first. Duh.

kindergarten by folding and then cutting through all layers at once?
A couple lengths of butcher paper taped together to form a slightly
over sized square should do it... can fold the paper in half, in half
again, and in half once more to make a triangle, then measure from the
point the radius distance and cut on a tangent. Snip off the very
point to make an opening for the center post, open the sheet, tuck the
excess arcs under and tape to add strength, open one taped radius to
slip over the center post and retape and there you have it.

they fly off. You have to use quite a lot of force to open them because
they stick very badly. Very poor design. My daughter likes to have them
closed and I prefer the look of them closed but feasibly I try to keep them
open because it is far less hassle.

How do I measure the diamater of the circle? I am not good with math. My

two cans high which I have to do, the top can will fall off. The other
cupboard is the one I use for flour and baking things. Everything in there
is now in a plastic container so not likely to fall off. But prior I just
had the bags in there. They were all small bags because these were
alternate flours like rice and tapioca. The bags would fall off of the
ends.

If things are flying off because you are having to use so much force to turn this lazy susan then it needs to be adjusted so it will turn easily. And why do these shelves HAVE to be lined???

to line them. I guess technically they don't *have* to be lined especially
since I have everything in the one cupboard in plastic containers. However
the previous owner had lined them with Contact paper that was ripped and bad
looking. It didn't peel up fully and neither did the paper that I put on
there. So there's a lot of adhesive with paper stuck to it here and there.
Looks like crap. Plus I sprayed the one with bug spray after I got the
weevils. I would just feel safer to have a layer of something between it
and my food.
My cupboard apparently isn't typical from what I have just looked at online
because the cabinet front is attached to the lazy Susan. This (I think) in
and of itself is causing it to go off balance. That and the way the cabinet
front fits into the opening. I think the wood swells and causes it to
stick. Sometimes it will only go one way and not the other.

corner cabinets that are quite deep, so I use them to store tall items
like paper towels stacked on end, aluminum foil/wax paper, plastic
wrap boxes on end, 2 liter soda bottles, way into the depths gallon
jugs of emergency water, and near the front 1.75 L bottles of Crystal
Palace. I wouldn't think to store canned goods in any bottom cabinet,
they are all too deep and too low... I hate creeping about on the
floor to find stuff. Bottom cabinets are for storing large items one
doesn't use on a daily basis, even a monthly basis. But I do use
those small plastic lazy susans from Rubbermaid (I have three) in one
of my upper cabinets for storing spice bottles; items on the lazy
susan and items around the perimeter, no wasted space. I don't store
many canned goods and rarely used items in my kitchen, that's what a
basement is for.

to cut with scissors. And washable paint is readily available, it's
called deck enamel, used to paint concrete floors but can be used on
wood too... both oil based and water based are available... there are
also very nice epoxy paints, more expensive but you don't need much
for lazy susans. Personally I'd remove those lazy susans and toss
them into the trash.

jars of spices and bottles of things like worcestershire, teriyaki and other
bottled sauces there. I certainly didn't spin it so hard things flew off to
the back of the cabinet!
I don't have a lazy susan-type cabinet now. I do have a wooden lazy susan
on the counter next to the stove for the always go-to herbs and spices :)
And a smaller one in one of the cabinets for the aforementioned bottles.
Still, stuff doesn't fly off the shelves. I don't spin them like roulette
wheels.

So don't put canned goods on the lazy susan! Lazy susans weren't designed
for stacking canned goods.
Seems Julie is now telling us most of her kitchen cabinets are built-in lazy
susans. I simply don't believe it. This is one instance where I'd like to
see a photograph of all these (opened) lazy-susan style cabinets.

For julie: A "straight line" is like a piece of string pulled tight.
"Bisect" means to cut in two pieces of the same size. The "center" is
the middle. "180 degrees" means halfway around a circle, like from 12
o'clock to 6 o'clock on a round clock. (A clock is a device we use to
keep track of time.) An "arc" is a curve, like in the road or around
the edge of a baseball. Don't even worry about "circumference".

In that case measure from the center to an outer edge. Take a string
and tie a pencil to one end. Measure from the pencil to the length
you just measured. Then hold the other end on the piece of paper.
Draw a circle. Cut it out and test it in the circle.It should fit
pretty well and you can make whatever adjustments you need.

because there is so much wasted space - kind of the difference between
a 12" square pan and a 12" round pan. (That would be 12" on each side
of the square pan, and 12" DIAMETER for the round pan. LOL.)

If you really wanted to be helpful, you'd remind poor Julie that a
180-degree arc is equivalent to a 1-radian arc. But will you ever be
helpful? No, you're too busy groveling five times a day with your ass
in the air.

180-degree arc is equivalent to a 1-radian arc. But will you ever be

Well I don't really see how the paint would help anyway. In order to paint,
I would have to sand it all down and that would be a PITA. Then I don't
think it could be cleaned very well. I would still have to line it. No? I
lived in an apartment with painted shelves and I still lined those.

I haven't got much choice. I have no pantry and most of my top cupboards
are filled with dishes and casseroles. I do not have a lot of those either.
I have one small cupboard with cat food. One with rice and pasta, one with
spices, one with oil, vinegar, nuts, and any other smallish things that I
can't put anywhere else. Every cupboard I have is full to the max. The top
of my fridge is full of things like crackers and beef jerky. And I've had
to put a shelving unit in my dining room for chips and cereal.
As I said before and I know you will make a joke about it... If I remove
the lazy Susan there will be a gaping hole. Not even cupboard doors because
they are attached to the lazy Susan. Hardly a good place to store things.
My other lower cabinets are all pullouts and also a bad design in that they
are shallow and things are constantly bailing over the back. For this
reason I try not to pull them out. One has pots and pans. One has baking
pans, tortilla warmers, larger plastics, and the other has bags and wraps.
There are no other cupboards. If I remember correctly there are 13 total.
Some of them very small.

I haven't got much choice. I have no pantry and most of my top cupboards
are filled with dishes and casseroles. I do not have a lot of those either.
I have one small cupboard with cat food. One with rice and pasta, one with
spices, one with oil, vinegar, nuts, and any other smallish things that I
can't put anywhere else. Every cupboard I have is full to the max. The top
of my fridge is full of things like crackers and beef jerky. And I've had
to put a shelving unit in my dining room for chips and cereal.
As I said before and I know you will make a joke about it... If I remove
the lazy Susan there will be a gaping hole. Not even cupboard doors because
they are attached to the lazy Susan. Hardly a good place to store things.
My other lower cabinets are all pullouts and also a bad design in that they
are shallow and things are constantly bailing over the back. For this
reason I try not to pull them out. One has pots and pans. One has baking
pans, tortilla warmers, larger plastics, and the other has bags and wraps.
There are no other cupboards. If I remember correctly there are 13 total.
Some of them very small.

I might go with the tiles the next time I have to line. But the paint would
be a PITA. Would you want to paint with your cats around? My little one
would be right in it. Plus to get the remains of the paper off that is
there now I would have to sand it down.

would look it up online. I did look up how to line the lazy Susan and
didn't get an answer. That is why I asked here. Oh and I pretty much gave
up baking years ago.

When shut the doors stick. You have to push pretty hard to get it to move
at all. So the things fly off. My doors are attached to the front. You
don't just open the door or doors and spin it. You have to push the doors
in.

Yes! Thank YOU! I have to keep a reaching tool near the cabinets for this

pic for you. I did look online to try to find one like mine. I did not. I
