    Must have been a really big knife to cause a 1X2 inch gouge,huh?

    A repair of this size sounds like you would need a professional to come and assess the job.

    A scratch of any substantial depth,could be filled with liquid bonder,but a gouge like you describe might need removal and replacement,many sanding grits,and polishing to bring back the luster.

    Maybe someone else will have further advice.

    If it is really that big, I agree with KBC. You will need a professional repair. We sell a lot of repair materials for Corian but this seems like more than a homeowner should attempt alone.

    John,

    A knife usually makes a 1/4" or less gouge from the point. Or a long thin scratch. We have a couple of techniques that work in that case. It may also depend on the color/pattern
