Broken Corian Sink Cover

August 08, 2011, 03:55:31 pm

D'oh! I didn't properly stow the small sink cover that is made of Corian and is about 5/16" thick. It fell on the hard, wooden floor and broke. It appears that it could be put back together with the proper adhesive. The two pieces fit snugly together and I think I could align the pieces by hand by placing the top down on a flat surface.

Would cyanoacrylate or a quick epoxy be satisfactory? Is there a better option?

If I really mess it up, I can probably fabricate a replacement from wood that could serve as a cutting board.

Why don't you make a nice maple TOP for the two pieces of Corian ... that way you will have the corian pieces glued together that fit the sink AND the cutting board.

Nice idea. Perhaps Steve would make a prototype for me. (Hmm, that one looks good, but what if we made a little change here. Could you show that to me again?) 

An expert sent me a pm and recommended a Corian adhesive. I'll be searching for the name of the "color" of our material so that I could get a good match on the adhesive.

Go to a cabinet shop and have them sell you the glue or glue it for you. They can glue where you almost can't see the joint.

On the other hand, it cuts really easily on a table saw and you could easily make a new one with a little material. I just used a narrow kerf blade with lots of teeth, an aluminum level to back wet or dry sandpaper to take the blade marks off the edges and their glue.

I left the cover on when I used the oven the first time.
