On a side note, what is the best adhesive to use when bonding corian
to aluminum? I have corian edging on the underside of a corian
countertop with a thin (1/2 in) strip of aluminum separating the two.
The previous owners of my house attempted to re-glue using what
appears to be contact cement. All of these re-glued strips have
fallen off - original strips are secured firmly with ??.

Corian is a methacrylate, so a 2 part methacrylate adhesive like Devcon
Devweld 530, or Loctite 3295, or Araldite 2022 or 2024. would be the most
compatible adhesive, they bond excellently to Aluminum.
