How to Cut RV Corian Countertops || RV REMODEL

#DIY #corian #SolidSurface

This week on Let's Talk Tuesday, we chop up our custom Corian Countertops!

Yes, you read that correctly. We are taking a saw to our custom countertops that we paid A LOT of money to get installed.

Why in the world did we do that??!! Its simple. We needed more seating in the bus and our bar just wasn't cutting it. It really just became a catch all and we didn't utilize it like we thought we would.

When you hit the road, you learn what works and what just doesn't. When you find out what works, you modify it to suit your new needs.

We measured (and by "we", I mean Jenn, who is notoriously bad at measurements, LOL) the space on either side of the bus where we wanted to put the new couches. Luckily enough, we found a matching sofa and loveseat with the EXACT dimensions we needed. On a wing and a prayer, Jenn ordered the couches from Amazon.

The new couches weren't expected to be in until December 9th, which gave us a ton of time to get the countertops adjusted. Unfortunately, they showed up EIGHT days early! We had nowhere to store the couches, so we watched some YouTube videos and went up to Lowes to get supplies!

Luckily enough, it all went fairly smooth! We are absolutely IN LOVE with our new space and have enjoyed being able to hang out as a family in the living room now!

Have you ever tried to cut your own countertops? If so, how did they turn out? Let us know in the comments!

(The price of the couches have gone up since we purchased ours)

Tools that were used
Angle Grinder with Diamond Blade
SkillSaw with a Diablo 60 tooth blade
Liquid Nail for glueing down the countertop.

Way to go Kyle! You did a fantastic job. Be sure to protect those peepers with some eyewear next time 😉 Im so glad you reused the other cabinet, since storage is such a premium! The transformation looks great. Love the color contrast.

how cool. You guys still on the road? Thanks for the corian tip

Looks great but just an FYI you should be using mask the dust from the corian is very bad as it’s a combination of acrylic and fiberglass is that bad that you need a license to cut Corian from EPA.

I was wondering how do you get your mail or things you order online

[MRM-wpgr]

you could have used a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade to do the last cut.If just a fine blade on the skillsaw worked so good, why would you need a diamond blade for that small saw? Just use a fine regular blade or even carbide

[caloosacustomcabinetsmarco]

you can cut Corian (solid surface material) with any tool that cuts wood

Love you shirt Jenn! Where did you get it?

[TheMamacyn]

How did your kids like breathing all that acrylic dust you put into the air?
