It looks like super white. Its closest to a marble. Scratches and etches easily.

Thanks guys,Andy Ross wrote:It looks like super white. Its closest to a marble. Scratches and etches easily.
I figured that when I saw the join, 3mm and all the glue had sunken in and it looked like every man and his dog had rubbed it.
I'm just glad it wasn't us who did the join.

Re: Another name the stone?
This was the join, and I was the 3rd person to fix it. So I got it level and glued up with Corian Dawn Beige glue and squirted construction adhesive underneath.
I didnt take an after as it was horrble, flat but horrible lol.

Re: Another name the stone?
You only need a few colors of Integra, if your joins are tight.
We use Chameleon, Newport Gray, crystal clear and few others that are more brown and black.

Re: Another name the stone?
Like Liquid Nails? Probably not the best choice - it is oily and could stain if the back of the stone was not resined.Shiny Alex wrote: and squirted construction adhesive underneath.
