Title: Quick question regarding the foil accent on corian countertop
Post by: Stacykp on January 20, 2020, 05:19:53 pm
Hello all,
We just purchased a 1996 U295. It is in great shape with several upgrades. It still has the corian counters, which is fine but the gold foil inlay has got to go. If I purchase mylar foil adhesive tape will that stick okay? Hoping someone has done something similar. Open to suggestions, I peeled back a corner and it is unfinished ugly under the tape so I have to put something in the groove.

walnut edge trim - stained to match- comes in a roll usually with adhesive back -

if you need a smaller width than shown here consider a large size and "slit"

Or go to your local countertop fabricator and let him show you the different ideas they have for your "groove"

I have used laminate, cut in down to size a glue it in. There are a ton of options with laminate

Since you are going to be here for an extended period of time, you guys can come over and use the table saw to rip it. I am  pretty certain that we could use my heat gun to activate the glue rather than using an iron, since its in a groove and you cant get to it with an iron.

Ben, I like that idea if we can figure out how to rip the piece to width. I'm thinking a straight edge and really sharp knife.
