Scott, 

 

The refinishing of the corian us very easy and move faster than working on stone.  there seems to be only a few that will touch corian therefore I have found that customers are willing to pay from $9:00 up to $12.00 per sq.ft

 

As mentioned in other emails you can use sand paper or the micro sand papers, all will work. In the past I always used diamonds on my hand grinder, just make sure you keep the hand grinder moving.

 

Any other questions, please advise

Thank you Dr Fred and Mr John ,your opinions and advice are both greatly appreciated and extremely respected.this material seems extremely soft compared to a hard dark granite,Do I need to use the alpha diamonds,so not to worry about burnt resin creating some kind of problem????IT looks like I can hit it with 400-800 and get a comparable even finish,Any ideas how to charge, its gonna be a moderate pain for me ,taking half a day,Is a stone refinishing rate robbery for this work,I don't want to rob anyone if some carpenter can do it for a hundred or so??? thanks for your input           Scott

John is correct, you can also use wet/dry sandpaper too, that's what Corian recommends.

Scott,

 

I have restored corian before using diamond before, don’t go too low with your grits usually 400, 800 will repair the damage, if it has a high gloss finish go higher, 3m rubbing compound ( 1500  1800 grit liquid works well)  with a buffing wheel. This can be purchased at your local Car paint and body shop store.

 

If you need more assistance let me know

I just bid a mid sized travertine restoration where the customer has a mud room counter and cast in basin she uses to wash the dog,it is made from the newer upgrade material from corian,made by Dupont cant remember the name,Can I remove scratches and refinish with resin diamond pads??? the material was very expensive however its still plastic.Anyone ever try this??? seems like 400-800-1800 should do it

Thanks in advance for any advice    "Big Blessings"    Scott Wilson/ Wilson Stonework's Inc
