Corian tabletop

[g_man1146]

Chuck,
Corian can, in many cases, be repaired invisibly. During the early
90's BB used some 1/4" Corian glued to plywood. While the two
materials expand and contract about the same with changes in
temperature, the best bet is to use 1/2" Corian over support strips.
If your table top can be unscrewed from underneath, I would take it
to a kitchen design/installation dealer that specializes in Corian.
They can probably repair it to good as new condition. Cost of repair
will be much less than a new one which will also vary greatly
depending on how the edge was/is styled and built.
