CORIAN FOR (almost) FREE

[henry1164]

Received some corian from a friend who does kitchen remodeling. I've taken out as much (too much probably) as I think I will need over the next several YEARS. After viewing what is left I realize that I could never, ever use the rest of the material. So feel free to reply with your choice of whatever you would like (large pieces, blank size, white/dark, etc.) from the attached photo that will fit into a small USPS flat rate box. Looks like there is enough for four or five boxes. The almost free part - postage in the US is $8.45. With the exception of the bull nose pieces that are 1" thick and factory glued, thickness of remainder is 1/2". Half-inch thick pieces are great for 7mm kits (pen/pencil set I made is shown) or - for the adventure seeking turners - segmentation. Please take this corian off my hands!
ADDED: If you are a new pen turner like me (about a year) you might want to try this stuff. It turns like alumilite or other acrylics - use sharp carbide tools. Finishing is the same as alumilite - nothing special.

How much for all?

How much for all?

I would like to give the chance to others to turn this stuff - it's quite fun - especially new pen turners like me with a year or less under our belts. I will gladly send you a box. Let me know what you would like (block, blank style, white/dark).

Can I have a box of the dark blanks? Or a few of each? I've never used it but both colors are pretty

I'll get you a box of mostly white with some dark since there is much less of the dark.

I would be thrilled to take some off of your hands. Whatever you want to send will be very much appreciated.

I was surprised by how easy Corian is to drill and turn. And it polishes up beautifully. Have fun, folks!

 

[zeroskillz]

I'd love whatever you're willing to send. If you have any left, let me know.

 

[Odinswoodshop]

I would also love a mixture of whatever you are willing to send.

Just got back from the Post Office mailing a couple of such packages. I have more and will be glad to send you some. PM coming.

If you have any left I'd like to give them a try.

I still have some and will send you a PM on this. Thanks.

Eight boxes sent to date. I believe all were to either new turners and/or turners who have never tackled (not a hard task) corian. I have seven boxes remaining but unfortunately it's only white. Will take any comers through next week - offer stated in original post. Anything left after next week will go to "hcpens" for the price of postage if he still wants it.

So for you new turners don't miss this opportunity. The price is right!
