I often do repairs of cracked Corian (or other solid surfaces) that don’t have a scrap piece of Corian left over from the original installation. Homeowners will ask why it’s important to have that piece, if DuPont still makes that color. Since the sheets are made in batches there are lot numbers on each sheet. So while the color may be the same there will be differences that will only be noticeable when the repair is done.
Here is a picture of the crack this customer had in their counter-top.
They did not have a repair piece, but had a small section of counter they didn’t need that I used for the plug repair. Here is a picture of the cut-out.
And here is the finished repair. As you can see, this piece was not a match. My customer was happy with the outcome, because it looked better than the crack. But, because that section of counter wasn’t from the same sheet it wasn’t a perfect match. If the repair piece had come from the same batch the result would have been a completely invisible repair.
