Glue for corian and plywood

Post by kak »

Hi.

I dont know where to ask the question, but people here are using a lot of corian.

I need to mill some small 3D parts and I have a thin piece of corian, which need some backing material and I want to use plywood.
5min epoxy worked ok for 1 day for bonding the 2 materials, but when it was 100% harden after 24 hours, I could just open it like a book. Epoxy didnt bond with corian.

Can you recommend some kind of glue?

I use Weicon "Flex+Bond"

It never really hardens up, so the lamination will flex, but not break. I use it in my shop, and no complaints so far.

I glue a lot of corian & use Gorilla Glue. Glue on one surface wet the other, clamp and that's it.
DON'T use too much glue. I spread mine with an old plastic credit card. DO MAKE SURE that you sand (rough up) any real smooth surface of the corian
