Just an FYI- I know the original poster said her trough was a Rubbermaid
knock-off, but a few others have commented on cracks that developed in their
Rubbermaid troughs.... Unless something has changed, Rubbermaid troughs
have a Lifetime Warranty, I had one a couple years ago that had a big crack in
it, took it back to our Co-Op and they traded it out for a new
one. Its at least worth checking out if anyone has that issue =)
