I made some progress in the kitchen project, had to look here on my last post to see how many working days it was. When counting correctly since the last update here 5 weekends, excluding one.
The boxes / corpus where all finished but were not easy to install and level to each other, since the floor is so uneven: someone told us before making the wooden floor we should use leveling compound, but we did not too so because ,it was totally flat‘.
Working with the Corian material for the countertop and the sink was so far OK, it smells not good when routing (also it is really a mess) and the glue also (but only like for an hour so). Getting the material for installation, glue and gun, is very hard as it is only sold for ,DuPont certified fabricator‘. A cheap glue gun did not fit, only the ~£70 DuPont version. We should not have bought the countertop plate cut to correct depth, the ,DuPont certified fabricator‘ cut quality is horrible, chipping etc. on each edge. Lengthwise I cut with the router, nice a smooth (on the floor in the living room).
I sanded the countertop yesterday, 150 > 240 > 320 > 500 > 800 (did not work) > 1000 > 2000 > polish. The surface feels good, smooth but also soft / warm in a way, hard to describe.
I had to fix two small holes at the sink glue area: to fix this material is really easy, make a bigger hole, fill with glue and material, and sanding & polishing again, unbelievable how easy this is, easier than wood. To prevent this glue-sink error - even though it was really small holes which couldn’t be seen - I should have put more pressure on the clamp but was feeling not comfortable put more on it.
But mounting the dishwasher and this stupid fucking part in the bottom took 3 days and lots of errors, including that I have now no material left for the waste bin drawer front.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
