Thinking about using Corian for benchtop

[navycop]

I have a bunch of corian scraps laying around (to small for blanks). I was thinking of "segmenting" them together for a top to my work bench. It would probally be durable and CA might be easy to remove??? Your thoughts please..

You are kidding right? you said too small for banks and how are you going to glue them together exactly to come up with a 24"x 76 or 84"? I can see it finished next January. And, plus you are going to hammer on this table too?

I have a piece of 12X12 corian I use to mix epoxy and catch ca drips. They both clean up easily with a wood chisel. Scrapes right off.

I use a 12x12 piece of corian for setting my casting cups on so they drip on those and are easily scraped clean. The bench top sounds cool, but not too practical and hammering on it would be a disaster for sure.

Granite is the what ya need. Counter top makers usually have a lot of various size rejects that they sell fairly cheap.

I made a 10' x 24" work bench top using 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood glued and screwed together. I plan on using 3/16 masonite as a top. The masonite will be put in place with a couple of strips of two face tape so that it can be replaced when it is messed up.
