Thread: Corian counter cracked - new pix - Family Woodworking

I don't know about Corian. Our home came with a Corian look alike (GE if I remember correctly). Bleach will lighten the color our's enough to be noticeable---like a water spot. It would not look bad at all, if the entire counter were that way. DAMHIKT. Now, a few years later, I can't see the "bleached" area.

While the counter was still under warranty something in the house settled slightly and a crack developed on the inside corner of a right angle turn in the counter. The man came and repaired it so you could not even find it---until 8 or 10 years later. It still does not show unless you are standing right by it and the sunlight through the kitchen window is at the right angle.

I was not here to watch. Sounds like he drilled a small hole at the end of the crack. Then he routed it out 3/8" wide by the length. It did not take him long. However, the poor guy was on the freeway for over three hours (round trip) to get here to do it.

Good luck with it and/or the butcher block top you make.

Enjoy,

You certainly are having your little ole adventure aren't you!

Oh yes! If you polish the top with an electric polisher with a lamb's wool pad--DO NOT accidently go to high speed. DAMHIKT either.
