Use and Care Manual

Removing Minor Cuts and Scratches
Because the solid beauty of Corian
®
solid surface goes all the way through, DuPont
TM
Corian
®
solid surfaces are renewable. You can remove
minor cuts and scratches yourself by following these instructions. Deeper scratches may also be removed, but repair is best done by
professionals.
• First, wash the area where the scratch is located, following the instructions found in this guide, to remove any film on the surface as this film
may clog the cleaning pads. With the surface still wet, start rubbing with the peach colored (1500 AO) side of the abrasive pad. Use a light
touch. Pressing too hard may actually leave deeper scratches. Rub over the scratch using a straight line motion. Periodically switch rubbing
direction ninety degrees. Rinse pad periodically during this process to remove any built up residue. Be sure all of the scratch is removed.
• Clean top with water and dry thoroughly. Check to see if sanded area blends with rest of top. Please note that sanded area may not perfectly
match remainder of top. Rub over a large area to blend in sanding.
• If needed, continue the sanding process using the blue colored (4000 AO) pad and if necessary the gray colored (12000 AO) until the desired
gloss level* is achieved. Clean the top with water and dry thoroughly between each pad.
• Rinse out all pads used and allow them to air dry before putting them away.
• An alternative to refinishing yourself, is to contact the Authorized Corian
®
retailer from whom you purchased your Corian
®
solid surface product
to inquire about getting a quote for professional refinishing.
