Corian Inlay Using Adhesive
This is something I have been working on for awhile but hadn't quite decided how I wanted to do the inlay treatment. I had considered paint but it just didn't seem to fit the bill. Granted it isn't a complex project but I got the opportunity to experiment using Dupont adhesive.
The plaque is Pompei Red Corian. Burgandy and orange are Virginia Tech's colors, as close as I could get anyway with solid surface material. I am pleased with the results, even though there are a couple of places that could have been better it looks great at an arms length :) I found that by putting the adhesive tip deep in the v-groove and pushing the adhesive upward it eliminated air bubbles.
The picture is a little fuzzy but the lines came out perfect, I must have had the shakes :(
I'm working up to attempting an Aspire project that involves multiple layers/colors of Corian plus some inlay but I wanted to sharpen my skills a bit first.
I think with a bit more work I can get the technique down pat so I'm working on another little project using CNU chisel letters in white with a dark blue inlay. The design is done....now on to the router :)

Nice work; I got questions
Nice Use of the adhesive. The project looks good.
What bit did you use to cut the profile?
Do you use a mechanical clamp method or vacuum?
Thanks for sharing.
