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.

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.
