   This weeks Project: Corian Coat Hooks - 6 coat hooks a, 3 hour project.
   
   Tools needed: Table saw, Router table, Home oven (toaster oven will do), Oven gloves, a 12" piece of 2"X 6", Drill and enough Corian to make 6 - 12" x 2" x 1/2" strips.
   

1. Make the form as shown in the picture above. The piece of 2x6 shown is 8" long. I use gutter spikes in the holes as marked. The Corian will follow the black line.
2. Use a bevel or round over bit to finish all 12 edges of the 12" pieces of Corian.
3. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Use an oven thermometer to be sure that the temperature does not exceed 350 degrees.
4. Put one piece of Corian in the oven and heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until quite flexible.
5. Remove, with oven gloves, and wrap around nails as shown.
6. Allow to cool while second piece of Corian is in the oven. You can speed cooling by placing in water in the form.
7. Repeat for all hooks.
8. Drill and chamfer holes for mounting.
9. Sand and polish as desired.

Most people think of Corian only for kitchen and bath surfacing. It is a beautiful and durable material that has been used for hundreds of alternate applications. This blog is dedicated to advancing the knowledge and awareness of its abilities and the techniques with which to use it.

I will provide projects, tips, and answers to your questions. I will try to answer common and specific questions you may have regarding Corian adhesives, cutting, shaping, forming and coloring. Though my business is to sell Corian to anyone who wants it, I will help you no matter where or how you obtained it. Though we are not in the countertops industry, I will answer, to the best of my ability, questions regarding this use as well. I hope you are able to use and enjoy this blog.
