Guys i sold you this corian in the belief that it was genuine 24mm thick .. I have since learnt that this is not the case, even when i was cutting this up i looked for evidence to make sure it was not glued which i saw none to alert me. If anyone i sold this to would like a refund i will gladly do this, i had no intentions to sell this corian to you under any false pretenses ...

Cheers,

Jim

When you said it was not glued, I was quite surprised as the guy who gave me all my corian is a top corian fabricator and when I had a guided tour of his facility he told me all the specs, but that was over a year ago and I thought they had made thicker one. It is still the nicest corian I have seen and if anyone would like to sell theirs to me, I would be more than happy to take it. If you want to keep it and drill it, I would advise to drill very slowly and keep withdrawing the bit, just drill 1/4" at a time otherwise the heat will kill the adhesive. The way they glue or join corian is fantastic and is undetectable if done properly. They could cut out a damaged area and insert a piece and when finished you would not be able to see where the damage was.

Come on sell me your corian you bought from Jim.:thumbs:

Jim, you sold it in good faith and I'm extremely happy just to have some. It might need a bit more tlc but it'll still do the trick. I made a pen this evening out of it and I can't wait to get my drill bits to make a fancy one.

I am also very happy with the Corian.
The first one was my fault that's for sure went at it like a bull in a china shop and since then have repaired it. No worrys.
Can't wait to get another order from Timberbits to really try out this beauty on something worthy.

Cheers Jim
