We are currently remodeling our kitchen, and I accidentally spilled a bit of high powered paint stripper in our corian sink. It left an impression in the sink about the size of a quarter, and approx. 1/8" deep. It is a white corian sink, and though it was slightly used when we got it, it was in great shape - any way that I can fill it, or could we buff it out? Because we bought it used, I don't have a warranty or even an idea of who to call. Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I repair Corian professionally. It will be difficult to sand out damage that is 1/8" deep, but it is worth a try. I would recommend starting with 40 grit sandpaper. If you have an electric sander small enough to work in that area, use it. Otherwise, sand by hand. Also use a vacuum hose. Don't just concentrate on the small damaged area - you want to feather out the whole area, and slope toward the drain. It may be helpful to disconnect the drain fitting. Once you are through with the sanding with 40 grit, advance to 60 grit, 80 grit, 120 grit, 180 grit, 220 grit, 320 grit and 360 grit. Sand a slightly larger area with each finer grit. Buff the area with a Scotch Brite pad. At the very least, you will improve the appearance, or perhaps eliminate it entirely. Good luck!
