gluing corian
Russ Cataldo
>Hi all. I'm new here but need some advice on gluing corian pieces big enough for making peppermills and shakers. As you know it only comes in 1/2" sheets and my mills are usually 2 1/2" around. I have tried Super T thick CA and also gorilla glue but have no idea how long these glues will hold up. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

>Thanks Doug for the feedback. Would you possibly know what the life expectancy of that particular CA glue is. Rumor has it that CA glues have a short one, maybe 5 years. Nothing I make from Corian, peppermills etc, are subject to hard use but it would be greatly embarassing for one of my beauties to fall apart in the middle of a gourmet meal. Thanks again for all the help

>Russ,
I have no idea, but I have a little bowl that I glued up and turned over 3 years ago and it shows no signs of deterioration. I used Starbond medium viscosity glue. The link that I sent you was intended to acquaint you with the Corian Epoxy glue. If I recall correctly, they sell it in small enough quantities. I have never used it, but the local corian installer claims that it is the only glue to use and it should last a lifetime in use.
