woodsman1031 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I am needing an extra thick nut to cover something and I dont have any pieces of corian thick enough . Has anyone ever laminated corian. I always use clear epoxy to install nuts so I think the same epoxy would hold corian to corian. What do yall think? I appreciate your input!!!

Tommy ← I gave it a whirl with loc-tite brand clear epoxy, I use this epoxy on everything. I will let you know how it turned out in the morning.

soapbarstrat Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Super-glue should work very well, since corian is about 10% acrylic, and super-glue is also acrylic. I just bought a few samples of corian which is over 1/4" thick ( I think- too lazy to go measure). I got solid black, bright white, vanilla, and butter cream. the last 2 pretty much look like any variation of bone or ivory you would come across. I also have a big slab of "linen" corian that I got free at a counter-top fabrication shop. It's "white" with little speckles in it, so when it's polished, it looks like some kind of stone.

rhoads56 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 bench manufacturers use liquid corian for gluing, but this isnt available easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman1031 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I sawed it to length last night and filed down the edges. It is holding up so far, I have not put it on and slotted it yet. So far so good! PS: If it comes apart I am going to retry with super glue Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman1031 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 FYI: I slotted it tonight and strung it up. It worked just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
