What do you think of my Corian Carb Spacer?

Looks like a great idea! I would be REALLY interested if it works. If it does, will you be making more? If so, do you have a cost in mind?
 
If this is Corian, could you make them in granite or marble veined or like with metalflake? That would be killer.
 
I'd be interested in what you find out using the epoxy.
I got some Corian from a local cabinet shop along with the proper 'glue'.
The 'glue' is color matched to the corian and is a two part adhesive.
My project required correct matching on joining line(s).
What epoxy are you using?
Thanks.

Thanks for the nice feedback ! :D I did not buy any Corian brand adhesive, as I thought it was probably an unnecessary expense. On this template I just used regular hardware store epoxy - but for the real thing I'll make sure the glue used can take the heat.

Actually, the Corian sheet I have is a tan marble finish. I got it from a pal who's business is kitchen remodeling. It would look cool in that gray granite color, but you really only see the grain from the topside - and you won't see that when installed.

If it does work, sure, I'll make some more. What do you think is a reasonable price ? Thanks - Dickson
 
Brilliant. have a slab of that stuff leftover from my kitchen sitting on my workbench to make a carb spacer with, but I wasn't sure it would handle the heat. now I know.
 
Well, I have a 66 mustang sixer vert that I hope will be painted soon, and I'll use that as the test mule. If I break down due to a massive vacuum leak at the carb spacer (which has pooled on the intake :oops: ) it's my own fault. I would not want to pass along or sell others until I'm a little more sure of the material heat limits as well as design! Thanks

Temperature:
12. Can I place a hot pot directly on Corian®?
We do not recommend placing a hot pot directly on Corian®. Although Corian® remains stable and undamaged in temperatures up to 212ºF (100ºC), high heat or flame will damage Corian®. In most cases this can be repaired. To protect your Corian® from heat damage, always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet when using hot pots or heat-generating appliances like frying pans or electric cooking pots

PS I use the Bisque color in glued up blocks to make ivory looking knobs for wood working tools.
Got my Corian(1/2 " thick) from a cabinet shop.
