Been Shopping

[Neil]

I was so impressed with the result of the Corian I was recently given, that I went shopping. The wife was, relatively, supportive, and greeted my return with, Oh bloody hell you've gone over the top again.

I didn't have a choice, honest Guv. I bought a £3 box of remnants and twelve six inch squares for 12 quid and I then bought the garish colours to the right for a tenner.

Wasnt bad going?

About seven thousand six hundred and fifty three. I know why you call it bog floor now, it has that drilled odour resonant of a stale public lavatory floor.

Walter will love them LOL good on yer Neil if you enjoy turning it and there is a market for it then why not a word of warning mind you dont get dermatitides in between your fingers from the dust and I'm not kidding mate I always were disposable gloves now when turning that kind of stuff as well as some woods if I dont my hands get sore and sometimes loads of small blisters

Neil,

Guilty by association the way I hoe into good deals I found the drought over here many years ago the dealers almost behaved like Diamond Cartels and when I finally cracked supply from a sub agent he filled the boot of my car for nothing saying he only dumped the offcuts sink cuts etc. Still have large part sheets from a huge kitchen maker who changed streams phoned me and said I could have first pic and to help myself from his stacks. I am regretting my enthusiasm now the removal is hurtfull Corian weighs so much in sheet form in my downsizing efforts.

So bravo friend for getting such a variation in easy to see select and cut amounts for peanuts as you have. May you prosper in your sales.

Kind regards Peter.

Mo Paul, I came across this guy who earns his living buying the holes that kitchen fitters cut out of the tops and makes them into chopping boards. He also gets all seconds of larger boards. The guys garden is a corian land fill zone, its everywhere. The greenhouse is made of corian, the edging strips on his bedding strips are made of corian, and there were no plants in the bedding strips because there were piles of corian on the mud! Plant pots stood on Corian circles, there was a piece of corian used as a splint for a fence post, you get the drift? Ohh and the shed , one of three used to store some corian, that was made of corian as well! I'll pay him another visit and bring 20 quids worth to the meet.
