@AndyGravesКүн бұрын
You would need to sand with coarse grit until the burn comes out. Sometimes the burn is so deep you have to cut out and replace with a repair piece.
@AndyGravesКүн бұрын
Sand the burn with a random orbit sander with 80 grit. After the burn mark has been removed sand with finer grit to blend into the surrounding area.

So we corian countertops and kitchen island. We love them. However our island has seams that have come unglued. How can this be fixed? We don’t know if this is from house settling or me pounding chicken cutlets🤪. My husband can do anything but he is avoiding this…but there has to be a way to fix this without replacing entire top. I can send pictures couldn’t figure out how to attach.
Is there a recommendation to clean a seam? I bought a house with these countertops, but there is a seam that is visible now (looks like it got stained with use) and I'm not sure how to fix it.
