Bonding Corian or Wilsonart

[Legato_J]

Seeking guidance / lessons learned for bonding corian or wilsonart material. I obtained some samples from Home Depot which are 1/2" thick. I want to bond them together to build a 2.5" x 2.5" blank. My intended use for the blanks would be for the Penn State yo yo and spinning top kits.

I reached out to the Wilsonart company for adhesive information and haven't heard back yet. I'm thinking due to low stress that regular epoxy should be sufficient.

You probably can get away with no gluing with the YO Yo projects. The spinning top I would use an epoxy and my choice is System3 T88

I've glued plenty of corian over the years with 2 part epoxy. I always just used Loctite brand and colored it with acrylic craft paint to match the material to help hide the seam.

Any epoxy will work well.

Epoxy. I used Devcon Two Ton epoxy for building golf clubs. Should give you an idea of its strength. Color as JohnU stated.
