jpaluck,

That should carve well. The thing to remember is that in Designer, tilt the "board" and make sure that the things you want the brightest are carved the deepest. The thinner the material, the more light comes through.

Several people have mentioned depth of carves in 1/4" Corian, all about 0.150" - 0.160", I generally use 0.153".

I hope this helps.
