Crop circles. Damty low-rent runty aliens make them and leave us poor humans to wonder...

No and i have blue corian and a lot has been left on it with no problem.

 

[Mikey P]

heat damage..

Maybe try a real fine sand paper or something like a 3000 grit spinergy pad to remove a thin layer.

I know a guy that manufactures corian. I haven't seen him for years. I'll see if I can contact him and ask what to do.

 

[Mikey P]

Thanks Todd!


In person it looks too deep to sand off but who knows.

 

[Todd C]

Let me show my friend the picture before you try anything.

As long as it isn't an Old Coaster.

I don't do Corian. It might be able to be sanded out and polished. I don't know the exact procedure, but I know you can sand it with an orbital and some automotive sandpaper and polish it with some stuff. I dunno, maybe just light it on fire.

and you want to be my latex salesman...

This is how you fix it

 

[dealtimeman]

Yes but how far down will you have to cut?

 

[Old Coastie]

Burns can cause deep discoloration. A blemish or even scratches don't require much more sanding than, say, a wood plank would. The trick is to be disciplined in using progressively finer grits, as there will be no concealing the swirl marks left by skipping stages. At the end, a good buffing with polishing compound will make it look like glass. Not hard, just tedious.

The color is all the way through the Corian. The key is to sand the burn and sand the rest of the slab without creating a crater.

A lot easier said than done. Especially if the burn goes down a bit.

That said very doable just time consuming try to not make a noticeable sink hole area or slight bowl.

If it is like wood then a burn is much harder to remove than a scratch.

Try magic eraser.
