    I use thin CA glue and accelerator to make a quick bond then let cure overnight.

     I have a test piece that I used CA with, no accelerator. I will test it tomorrow. I've never used an accelerator before and the most success I've with Ca is on my fingers.

    HF gloves takes care of that issue.  I use the accelerator to quick dry the outer surface when I am gluing say 10-15 pieces up at one time.  If you are not planning on turning the next day do without and let the CA cure well.  For larger projects I use medium CA and let it cure 3-4 days before turning.  Caution on my part, it is probably okay after 1-2 days.

     

    Piece of Corian glued with medium CA to the base.

    I will get some better pictures tonight.

     

    If you want some 2 inch square 1/2 inch thick Corian squares to try I have plenty. 3 drawers full.
