Cutting A Corian® Christmas Ornament by Barry Gross "Mr. Solid Surface" of BG Artforms INSTRUCTIONS A Christmas tree ornament made out of Corian? What will Mr. Solid Surface think of next! Because weight is a factor with ornaments, we use 1/4" thick Corian for this project. Once your ornament is polished, its beauty will outlast even the most durable hardwood finish. By following the simple guidelines presented here, anyone can craft a beautiful ornament that will be cherished for generations. Step 1. Corian has a definite top and bottom. The top is generally smoother and the bottom may have writing on it. Place the Corian with the top surface facing up and cover it with masking tape. The tape will help to keep the blade from overheating. Use spray adhesive to affix the pattern to the Corian. 58 • Creative Woodworks & Crafts November 2001 continued on page 18 |
