If you are going to be doing a good amount of Corian I would get it. Even though we use Integra adhesives, we have a Corian gun for those odd colors we dont stock. If you dont want the big gun get the baby gun, Corian has all their adhesives to fit those as does Integra.
John
P.S. Integra still has the best adhesive out there.
Buying the big gun sucks, but if you are going to be a solid surface fabricator you have to have one. Remember the small gun for Corian and Integra are different. But the small guns are cheaper so you can get both.
I’ve got the 250 ish “normal” gun. I think I would go crazy fighting a 50ml gun. (the other Corian gun, I think) Guess I’ll just get a 470ml gun, and carry on.
Just $ I had not planned on spending today. Please tell me Corian cartridges use the “normal” (mcx) tips.

Sorry Chris they use MCX and MFX in my neck of the woods, but am not sure if they are all the same near you. The 50ml guns are nice but are a pain to fab a whole job out of. Great for field seams though.
John
I use the 50 ML gun exclusively. I prefer it to the larger gun. the tips are small and don’t use much adheasive to fill up. Also the glue doesn’t ooze out of the tip after releasing the trigger as much as the larger guns. Just my pref.

Cross match the adhesive, you can use any adhesive on any SS. If your doing a small amount of Corian why spend the few bucks you may make on a gun you will not use often.
Somewhere in the annals of recorded material at DuPont, they he a video of me railing against the “new” (at the time) larger adhesive guns. We were recording a builder/remodeler program they were coming out with and trying it out for reaction with some of my remodeler customers. the word “Arrogant” appears more than once.
Boy was I pissed.
Then I bought the larger gun, of course.
Bastids.

Tom do you remember the original bulk adhesive Dupont had in the mid 80’s. I got suckered in to buying that stupid pneumatic bulk gun. That sucker sits on a shelf in my garage. It is a pretyy shade of blue though.
Tom,
I feel ya’
That is pretty much what I was looking for. Got the gun yesterday.
Don’t fight the man.

Wes,
I really liked the swing arm bit.
Great style. Kind of “Hyperbaric Chamber Chic”, if you know what I mean.
Chris,
Yup. I always use the recommended glue.
If I ever need to tell these guys that I used the recommended glue, I want to be very comfortable.

It’s a matter of integrity isn’t it. when you sign an agreement with a supplier of a product to follow their recommended guidelines and they require you to use their adheasive, then what is the question here. It sounds like some posters are saying that as long as I probably won’gt get caught, or how can they prove what glue I am using, then I am going to use the cheaper adhesive.
