Segmented Corian Bowl - AKA: What happens if you ignore glue temperature instructions

[@jasonrichelhoff4249]

Hi Billy You welcome back woodworking 👍 So cool bowl Nice job bowl You Thanks video 👍👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Jason! 👍 Billy

[@MakeThings]

Better luck next time Billy. I thoroughly enjoyed the video though and am glad you didn’t scrap it.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Rob! Win some, lose some. Billy

[@DavidAdamsen]

This is what sets your channel apart from others, Billy. You're always trying new things and willing to push the limits. Keep it up! Glad you're safe! I'm excited to see the finished product!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, David. I try. Unfortunately, there is no finished product with this one. I don't trust any glue joint in the piece. Billy

[@charlafarmer3128]

What grit of sandpaper do you use in your drumsander when sanding Corian?

[@TheMessyStudio]

@@charlafarmer3128 I use 100 grit in my drum sander for most everything, Charla. Billy

[@luannapierce2544]

Mama said there'd be days like this. I am glad you know better than to be in the line of fire. I shudder to think of what could have happened. Very happy you were not hurt too badly, Billy. You really put a lot into it and didn't quit when the going got rough, so there is that said about your character, it is also wise to know when to stop as well. Brilliant performance all around this video... It is sad you don't have something to show for all the work you put in, but you made the right call. I know that feeling all too well. Kudos to you Billy. I cannot think anyone would fault you, I can only imagine them taking the lesson, and being very grateful that you weren't hurt much worse.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you so much, Luanna! I'm pretty persistent and don't like to let things beat me, but this one... well, discretion is the better part of valor and I don't trust ANY of the glue joints in what's left now. So I'm not going to let it hurt me or break anything else in the shop. LOL Billy

[@luannapierce2544]

Good job, that sounds like wisdon\m borne of experience. I believe you when you say you are persistent. I am watching you turn a chunk of a Tragedy into a beautiful walnut bowl. You are fun to watch and listen to. Gonna get back to it before my salad is done. LOL Nice reply Thank you, Luanna

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Glad you were able Billy Bob and weave those pieces. 👍🇺🇸

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Cort! Billy

[@IrishChippy]

That's a shame Billy. But as you know, it is episodes like this that give you the vast experience that you have already. Back to the drawing board

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yes, but it happens, Pascal. Thanks for watching, bud! There's always another project in the works. Billy

[@ridterranytofollowtruthpea8324]

I HATE THAT IT DIDN'T WORK FOR YOU, BUT YOU TRIED AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES!!! I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T GET TOO HURT!!! STAY SAFE AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE GOOD AND UNFORTUNATELY THE BAD!!! TAKE CARE!!!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Ride! Billy

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

That was crazy! Maybe it has been asked, but maybe the Corian was not porous enough? Great video Billy!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Crazy indeed, Eloy. I've been successful with CA and epoxy on pens dozens of times. I truly believe it was the temperature. Billy

[@GordonRock1]

That is a huge shame, Billy. I’m just happy that you weren’t severely injured. I haven’t done much with corian and I might be tempted to keep it that way! Thanks for a valuable lesson, my friend! Stay safe! .....Gord

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Gord! I've done dozens of pens with it and never had a problem, but this was quite a bit bigger. Billy

[@DesertBumWoodWorkn]

That would have been beautiful, Sorry it didn't work and glad you didn't get hurt, but when you figure it out we will see it. thanks for sharing

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Chuck! I think so too. Yes, you will. I still think it was the temperature. Billy

[@daveporter2555]

What a bummer! I was really looking forward to seeing how that Corian turned. Thanks for sharing. p.s. If things never go wrong, it means your not doing anything. Spoken from experience-Have a good 1

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Dave. I will readdress it some day because I still want to try it. Billy

[@fredwienbarg5051]

CA glue will work great on Corian.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yes, I've used it successfully on pens for years. It just took longer than I expected to cure in the colder temperature.

[@RobinsBuysandDIYs]

Hi Billy! You ignore instructions? Whatttttttttt......(faints) Looking forward to see your next video.

[@TheMessyStudio]

LOL, thanks, Robin! Billy

[@WoodyWood]

Its a great Shame Billy but we live to try another day

[@TheMessyStudio]

Indeed, Woody. Thanks for watching! Billy

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Billy...that's a real shame...it would have been really pretty...glad that...I'm glad you didn't get hurt too bad...still an interesting video to watch... not long before the big 1k subs ...All the best....Andy

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Andy. Once things warm back up I'll probably give it another go. Billy

[@turntbyhi-lo3516]

Better luck next time Billy. I believe they make a glue specifically for corian, but I'm not 100% on that. Be worth looking into though. Mark

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Mark! Billy

[@jimrenderer6627]

I'm a new subscriber here at your channel. Having worked with Corian countertop material, I think that sanding the glue surfaces might help. Also, Corian makes their own glue that holds better than any other. My first encounter with Corian was with a piece of countertop edge of the ugliest dark blue & white speckles, given to me by a friend. I made a pen by drilling the 7 mm hole right on the centerline, where the front had been glued to the top, and it held together through the drilling & turning. I've used ca glue on pen tubes and Corian & they always seperated. Anyway. .........food for thought. J.O.M.O.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Jim. I've used bot CA and epoxy successfully with Corian in the past. I did rough sand the surfaces to give the glue something to bite on. I really think it was the temperature. Billy

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Billy, That is a great shame as I have never seen a bowl from Corian. My shop is constantly at around 44 F at the moment so way past time to get the heater in before I do anything in there with glue or resin. Looking forward to Mark 2. Cheers, Huw

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, mate. I'll be trying again when it's warmer. Billy

[@ronswoodturningshopandstuf5759]

Good video breaux. That would have been cool!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, mon ami! Yes, it would have I think. I will try another one next spring. Billy

[@tonydelta85dj]

I love this technique, I follow you!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you so much! Billy

[@daveb.misc.2589]

glad you werent hurt worse. it just wasnt meant to be.....on to the next project.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yep, it happens, Dave. Thanks for watching. Billy

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well that's just plain sad, Billy. I don't have to tell you about all the time and work you put into it only to have the glue fail. Man, I feel bad for you! Hang in there, buddy, tomorrow is another day! Phil

[@TheMessyStudio]

It is what it is, my friend. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes the bug. This time I was the bug. LOL. The next project will be better... I hope. (wink) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Billy

[@Phenrica]

That’s a real shame Billy, it was shaping up to be a good one. Good dodge from the shrapnel 👍🏻

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Steve! It would have been quite nice. Billy

[@fredwienbarg5051]

What are you using for glue?

[@TheMessyStudio]

I used CA and clear Gorilla glue.

[@sweetsierrablues5095]

Ah that's bunk. But I'm sure you'll figure something out. Oh by the way. Doug from Pohl Barn Productions sent me. 🙂

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Sherry! And yes, my persistence will pay off eventually. Billy

[@KennettBTurned]

Sorry she didn’t work out Billy! But you can say you tried everything within your power to make it work. And really that’s all that matters. Might look into if corian resists glue, cause that sure sounds like the problem. Any way you cut it though, nice try!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Mert! I've done dozens of Corian pens using both CA and epoxy and never had a problem. I honestly believe it was the temperature in the shop. Billy

[@KennettBTurned]

Billy Burt ahh. Didn’t realize you had fussed with it before. Sounds like a summer project for next year the 🙃

[@mountainviewturning5319]

You should of got the Corian glue

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks... but I've used CA and epoxy on it dozens of times without issue. Just never in a cold shop. Billy

[@patcallaway9804]

That was a great try. Sorry you wound up with an opportunity for spiritual growth! The safety police will probably decide the cut on your arm was due to wearing gloves on your hands. Those surgical gloves fit close and will not get grabbed by the lathe, and would fail before dragging you into the machine. Keep up the good work.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Pat. It happens. Some things work out, some do not. And I'm not too worried about the safety police. LOL Billy
