INSTRUCTIONS

Step 3. Wipe off the Corian using ethyl c cohol and allow to cry. The alcohol will remove any grease tha: cou d cause the joint to be visible at a later time.

Choose either wood or Corian to make the base of the desk set. Here I nave chosen to use Corian in the color Azure. Begin with a 6"-wide x 8-l/2"-long piece that will be cut into two 3"-wide pieces. Place masking tape on the Corian surface to reduce the heat caused by cutting the Corian and a so to luoricate the blade.

Step 4. After the alco-ho is dry, spread Hot Stuff CA Glue onto the surface of the Corian. Rjb the two pieces together and then pull them apart, inspecting both surfaces for complete glue coverage.

Step 2. Cut the Corian in hal* as shown. If you are cutting correctly (with a medium speed) and not pushing too hard, you will ge_ debris like this.

Step 7. Cut the material as per the oadern. Note: the debrs -ailing off the blode is what you want to see; this prevents too much hect, which would otherwise result in a burned edge.

Step 1. Set your scroll saw blade to exactly 0° in order to obtain c perpencic j ar cut, and then round over the back of the Artisan No. 9 scroll saw blade with a hone. This will help to eliminate any of the "rictional heat that tends to build up when making tight "urns in either the wood or the Corian.

Step 5. Place the two glued sides together and then immediately clamp the entire piece, as illustrated, with 2" spring clamps. Allow the Corian to dry thoroughly for 20 minutes.

Step 6. Use 3M

Spray Adhesive to adhere tne pattern to the Corian. Note: if you are mcking your project from wood, then adhere the pattern to the wood at this time.
