Help please

My mistake, must have been half asleep last night when I said use best I meant optimal. I've never sanded one that's what I like about them once they are carved they are done ,no finishing required.

I totally agree with Dale, when carving corian no sanding is needed although a small dental tool is useful to help scrap out the areas that got caked up with debris that my dust collector didn't vacuum up. However, I use a quality setting of NORMAL when carving anything in corain and it turns out great.

A few more questions then I think I will have a finished product. Thanks to dale I am almost done. I can't figure out how to adhere or make the Corian stay in the shadowbox. Also, the Corian is smaller than the window of the shadowbox and there is light coming around it. Anyone ever had those problems?

I just sent you an email

I am not sure what kind of lightbox you are using. I use a 5x7 shadow box from Michaels. I remove the glass and cut the corian to the same size as the glass I removed. The corian then fits snugly into the light box. I use a few dabs of hot melt glue on the inside to hold it in place. the ridge from the shadow box with the rabbit cut into it for the glass is enough to keep light from coming around the edges.

Pretty pleased with it. I used some thin sapele I had laying around and just wedged it in behind the Corian. Filled the gaps and held it in place.
