the corian wont work
as i thought, the veneers show thru at tips of points
i wanted to try it, so i used black veneer under it, just to see the worst case scenario

Did you use white tinted epoxy or clear?

Not 100% sure, you could try it on some small test pieces.

You're right, it's pretty thin at the tips, but personally... I think it's a nice look with the black behind it.

you're the second person to say that
maybe i'm being too critical ??????
i'll probably just make a jump cue out of this experiment

I think it looks good, I've seen that happen with wood veneers, also.

I have been using it for about 10 years with no cracking or finish peeling .
it is vary apt to bleed when put in dark wood .[ the white]

Jerry, what exactly do you mean by "bleed" when used on dark woods? Does the Corians color leach out or does the dark woods color affect the Corian? I'm thinking about using some of this stuff but don't want any large surprises down the road.
