talked to the suplier again, now he's not sure when he'll have any 3/4 stock. I think hes to busy to deal with me. That still leaves me with the two local fabricators to try and deal with. Which should be better pricing. So wrong size, color and price for now.
Thanks....pete

Just found out the folks that gave me the corian want me to do 4 more of my pencil holder things. (the kiwi one) If they like them they want to me to make a bunch so they can give them out to there customers. Of course im going to try to get all the material for free
However if i cant, im getting pricing on 1/2 and 3/4 inch corian.
Dont know all the details yet, my daughter was talking to them. I think i may have to buy a sheet of some kind.
So i have questions.
is anyone interested in buying some
do you want 1/2 or 3/4 inch
what are we/you paying for corian now and where
what size pieces do you want, i'll probaly have to cut it
what size box should i use to ship, isnt there a one charge box from somebody. upsor post office
im assuming it will be one color unless i can get them to order extra on an existing order they have.
Im sure there some questions im forgetting...let me know.
all this is assuming i can buy it and get it to you/me cheaper than were we get it now.
so what do ya think.....pete[?]
second update 12/16
after much finger counting we figure we can get
28 pieces per sq foot. Until i get pricing guess were on hold.
thanks....pete
Corian update 1/17/06
Took me longer than expected, even had to call DuPont a few times but I have some pricing to begin with. Still haven’t worked out a deal with my local dealer yet.
When it happens the pricing should get better, but here’s what I have now.
Based on calculations for a sq foot, pricing is for a 6†length, a little less (5 15/16)
¾ X 3/4 X 6 $2.50 per blank
½ X ½ x 6 $2.00 per blank
Plus shipping in flat rate box.
If someone needed I would be willing to, cut the blanks longer, wider and drill holes, and glue up wider pieces. Not sure how much extra it would be. Could anyone use flat sheets the size of the flat rate boxes? You could cut your own and get a few more blanks.
I’m also going to get some ¼ inch sheets, glue them up to make some diagonal blanks and some larger blocks, that should produce a different pattern based on how it was turned.
If we were ordering today.
The bad news is that I can only get the color bone (kind of beige) in ¾ inch now.
In half inch the colors available are Black, Glacier White, Bone, and Sun (yellow)
Go to coriansamples.com to see colors.
Before I commit to the supplies and you, a couple questions anyone interested, what do you think of the price so far, what color and how many pieces would you want. Not sure how many would fill up a small flat rate box.
Question from the supplier “is this a one time order or will you be doing this on a regular basis.†Told him depends on how cheap you sell me the stuff. What am I forgetting to tell you. What do ya think ?...pete
