There was no repair material easily available, and even if there was, what about all that veining in this Corian Verona Gray? It’s cracked through the front edge.

I put a dab of Gray methelmethacrylate and a dab of white light cure adhesive on the deck and squirted a puddle of CA next to them and mixed. I pushed the mix into the crack (after a peroxide and acetone rinse). I ran my sander around the perimeter to vibrate the glue in. The crack was visible after I sprayed the CA activator, but when I sanded it off the crack disappeared.

Looks great, do you think it will last?

Andy:

Yes, for two reasons. First, I didn’t pull the crack back together, so whatever stress that caused it is relieved because the crack is still there, it’s just filled. Second, this homeowner will probably never use too large a pan on his stove again. No warranty on repairs anyway.

Thanks,

Joe

Superglue has proven to be really strong on things we have put together years ago. Should work, just curious.

Joe did you reinforce the underside ??

Hooda thunk?  I am surprised that peroxide does such a good job removing the old dirt and grease from the crack to allow the adhesive to bond.

Looks good, Joe.

Reinforcing the underside would have been impossible without removing the strip underlayment behind the front edge. The crack was too short to extend past the underlayment. Removing the underlayment for reinforcement would have pushed the budget too far.

Yea, sometime you can spend almost the same amount of time cutting away at things to access the underside and reinforce a repair as you do on the repair itself.
