Though many kitchen and bathroom sinks have predrilled holes, this is not always the case with Corian® or other solid surface products. Corian® is drillable with standard drill bits and hole saws and is moderately difficult to break. However, you must be careful not to mar the surface when drilling.
Also know, how do you drill through a solid surface countertop?
How to Drill a Hole in Solid Surface Counter Tops
- Place a piece of masking tape over the surface of the countertop where you want to drill the hole.
- Measure the location where you want to drill the hole.
- Drip the drill bit located in the center of the hole-saw and the tip of the hole-saw into a container of cutting oil.
- Determine the location on your Swanstone countertop where you wish to drill the hole.
- Mark the center of the premarked hole with a pencil, or choose the center point of the hole you wish to create in the countertop and mark that point with your pencil instead.
- Attach a 1/4-inch drill bit to an electric drill.
Regarding this, what kind of glue do you use on Corian?
Epoxy glue
To use a circular saw, you need a blade that can handle thick plastic.
- Unplug the circular saw you're going to use, remove the blade with a wrench and replace it with a 60-tooth triple chip grind blade.
- Turn the Corian slab over and lay it on a flat surface.
- Don safety goggles.
