There was a good crowd who stayed for the demo |
Frank has brought in various Corian projects that he has done |
He also prepared many in process items to better explain his techniques |
The topics covered everthing from where to get it to how to buff it |

Frank shows how well the material can be cut provided you use the proper blades |
The material is usually available in 1/2 inch so bonding techniques are needed for thicker material |
After prepping the stock, Frank gets two pieces glued and clamped |
Being very abrasive, Frank prefers to scrape it rather than cut it based on the tool costs |
|

|
With the lathe bed protected, he shows his technique for wet sanding Corian |
The important part is to clear the swarf between grits |
Frank ends with his technique for buffing Corian turnings to a high gloss |
Jim Vasi presents the Certificate of Appreciation as Frank fields questions |
