Hello everyone. How about the world series? Good series ey? Well anyway, I purchased kitchen cabinets and corian counter tops from a previous home. I had to cut the counter tops to get them home. They are three pieces glued together as one. Can any one tell me how to glue them back without leaving a seam? And do I glue the bottom of the counters to the kitchen cabinets? If so what type of glue do I use?

You don't want to hear this but you can't glue them back together without leaving a seam. Only someone trained in the use and installation of Corian could do that. You need a special Corian glue, seam supports, and specific sanding/finishing methods.

Generally, you use silicone to spot glue the deck to the cabinets.

My friend, as a solid surface fabricator living in Brazil I can tell you to find a fabricator near your home, and ask him if he could do it for you... (there is a price of course). I don´t believe that you get a good result by yourself, because you ill need some tools (router, sander etc... ) and the special joint adesive, to prepare and finish de joint.
Than, he can glue the counter to you gabinet using a regular silicone adesiv.

You may find this web page helpful. It was written with the reuse of Corian tops in mind.
