Question

Is there a way to get what appears to be cigarette burns out of what I think is a corean (sp?) counter top? The countertop is that plasticy looking stuff... sort of half plastic / half marble looking. I think it's corean (not sure how to spell that). We just bought this house so I'm not sure. I don't think it's a curling iron burn... pretty sure it's from cigarettes. Can it be buffed out or something?

Answer 1

Corion can be sanded out, look around the house, a good installer should of left a patch kit and a peice lying around. If not contact your local corion dealer or DuPont on line for tips. The problum it might not be corion brand, there is a couple of differnet companies out there now. Basiclt you sand it out using 100, 150, 200. gritt sand paper going from 100 to 200 or to 300 ( auto supply shops ) and using water as a buffer and sand away,

Answer 2

If it is a solid surface counter top then you can sand it out. I have used the plastic scouring pads to remove scratches. You can also use a wet sand paper, starting with a coarser grit and working your way to a finer grit. When you have it clear and smooth, then you can use a polish/cleaner to restore the shine. good luck

Answer 3

Make a paste of baking soda and water and rub with a damp cloth and it should come off--- it has for me!
