Question on 'Avonite'.

[NLAlston]

Would like to know how different the Avonite Like Corian/Candlestone might be from regular Corian? Or would there be any differences, at all, regarding their carving characteristics?

In my anxiousness I didn't read the seller's ad as well as I should have, or I wouldn't have ordered what I did before coming here to question the carving quality of those purchased sheets. What's making me question this is the 'LIKE' word which is associated with the Avonite Corian.

It is the same as Corian, just a different brand name..

Thanks. I was hoping that it was (just another brand name). I had just gotten a bit concerned over the word 'Like'.

Here are some other brand names... Since first being introduced by DuPont in 1967^[1] under the name of Corian, other manufacturers have also introduced their brands as well. Other brands include CMMA Solid Surface, Livingstone, Avonite, Meganite, Wilsonart, Visioneer, Formica, Mystera, Karadon, Swanstone and others.^[2]
