TY Andy, I’ve always “cut” Corian with a router but I never tried using a jigsaw. I will play around on a scrap first but I thought I’d ask if you’ve ever tried that. BTW, I like your fabrication videos. As long as I’ve been working w Solid Surface, I’ve still learned a few techniques from you

You're welcome. I have a jigsaw video and it shows the correct blade that will cut solid surface.

Thanks for all of your great videos, watched them for years now. I was wondering if you ever have an issue with building that type of edge, if you have a problem with the dishwasher being able to be removed after the countertop is installed. I have come across some very thick floor tile which leaves little room for removal of the dishwasher, especially with such a thick edge. Thanks again for all of your time and informative videos.

We do not install kitchen countertops unless the measurement from the finished floor to the underside of the edge is 34.5" . That way you will always be able to remove the dishwasher when it breaks.

Hello, We use a hot glue gun. Thanks for watching

how do you fabricate your inside corner pieces, do you use a template first to fabricate the pieces. Thanks.

I just cut a rectangle on the table saw and miter saw. Then place in the corner, trace with pencil and cut the inside corner with a jig saw or band saw. If you have a CNC, you can just make the piece when cutting the countertop.

Hey Andy, I have a Corian slab already installed as an office top. I am converting that area to a kitchenette now. How would you cut the Corian to install a stainless drop in sink? I am inclined to use a router but I don’t know if the body of the router would allow me to do the hole cutout. Would you suggest a jig saw?

Exactly. The only thing I would suggest is to sand the cutout smooth to remove the jagged cuts from the jigsaw. And this is super important, do not cut square corners, they must be round even if it's only a 1/4" radius. The bigger the radius the better

I know this is an older video... but I have a question, I'm about to install a larger undermount sink in my afford surface countertop. Can I cut the counter top to fit then polish down the edges that are along the sink? Or do I need to use another product to smooth the edge? Thanks in advance if you see my question! :)

After you cut the hole bigger just sand the edge with 220 and 400 grit sandpaper. Then use a scotch brite pad to add as little shine. If you want to make it shinier, just sand to 600 grit.

Once I open the adhesive tube can it be resealed? I have several small pieces to join. Thanks for the great videos. Richard

Yes, but the tip is not reusable. If you need just a little adhesive, squeeze a little it and mix with a popsicle stick. It will cure exactly the same. Then just put the cap back on and it will keep the two parts separated.

@@AndyGraves Andy THANKS! I have extra mixing tips (5 in all) But I love your idea of using a popsicle stick for small applications. I am doing a kitchen for a good friend and he had a bunch of Corian given to him from a condo remodel. Another concern I have is that these pieces have the edge build-ups already and I have to try and do a mirror cut with my 1/2 inch (2-1/4 HP) router to get the joints close to perfect before using the adhesive. Any suggestions on the best way to router through the 1-1/2 inch front edges? Also I like the fact you use a square base on your router, looks like it was made out of scrap solid surface material. Is there an advantage to using a square base over the round standard router base? Thanks again and for a prompt reply! Richard

ANDY -- Another quick question ---Do the clamping blocks get hot glued to the top surface or the underside of the material?

Great info! The edge is starting to separate (small crack line). Is that repairable or have to replace? Thanks in advance!

Whats best for out side corner build up

@AndyGraves

How big of a radius are you doing? Typically you can just return the edge back down the side and then put the radius on the outside corner. There should be plenty of material.
