Package arrived the day before yesterday and with a sense of boyish enthusiasm I ventured into the shed.
Never turned the kitchen sink before but I quite enjoyed it and was pleased with the results.
Turned it to shape, used a bit of 180 to take off any small nicks and straight to a bit of 320 wet and dry and then through the mesh grits.
Question for Corian freaks (thats you Jim!!)
Drilling, think I got the answers on this, drilling on a pillar drill either a jobber or lip and spur? Used both but found a jobber better at drilling but found the lip and spur more accurate but slower and got a sticky gunge molten build up, drilling probably too quickly but was clearing the drill frequently. Think this was caused by drill heat, drill may have been a bit blunt?.
Sanding. Is there a direct correlation between the mesh grits and wet and dry? Does anyone know what abrasive effect burnishing cream is supposed to have, can it be measured in grits - question I'm getting at is it worthwhile burnishing with cream if you have meshed to the highest grit or are you going "backwards as such"? I'm happy with my results, just wanted to save unnecessary time and cash.
