>Opinions seem to be divided between epoxy and CA. It is virtually impossible to make a joint that cannot be seen when using the same color, no matter how careful you are. The pattern gives it away.

>If you are gluing corian up the best is from the manufacturer, Its sold in large and small tubes. With proper care you can not see any glue line. Check with the providor of the scrap they might just have some small leftovers you could use. Use caution not to squueze ALL the glue oput, common problem.

>I use thin CA glue with very satisfactory results. If I bond the GOOD faces together, rather than the back faces, the seam is virtually invisible. Haven't had any CA joint failures yet, either.
I've heard that the Corian-specific glue does not hold up well when heated (as in heat from drilling or turning), but have not been able to verify or disprove this, as the CA works well enough that I've had no need to experiment with any other adhesives.

>Thanks guys.
I know about the Corian glue but they come in large containers and the source for my Corian is a carpenter who does the wood portion of the kitchens and I already bugged him enough for the Corian. Also, he's way up north. No, it's not like Florida to Vermont but a two hour ride each way. Is there anyone to back up the claim that the real Corian glue won't hold up to heat? This will mostly be for pens and the hole will be drilled where the gloint will be.
I'll try the CA glue first as that's what I have on hand so not much to loose.

I have had troubles with invisable glue lines.
As already stated I glue good side to good side.
Word of cautiion.
Once you "Stick em" they are stuck,no"adjustmnet time" a lot like contact cement
