Hello from New Hampshire
Hello everyone,
My name is Troy Douglas and I own and operate a Solid Surface (Corian) Countertop fabrication company, along with my father, in New Hampshire. We started in business back in 1979, I worked part time through High School and college before ultimately joining him as his business partner. Now approaching our 30th anniversary in business, we are changing our business plan to ship vanity tops nation-wide.
I have extensive experience with Corian and other major brands of solid surface countertops and wet walls. If you have any questions regarding refinishing or repair.... I'm your man. I hope to help answer questions about proper support, commercial applications, shower pans and any other questions members may have.
Thanks for reading, see you on the threads!
-Troy

Hello from the wonderful world of windows
Just wanted to introduce myself. I located this site and felt that I may have some useful insight. I have been in the fenestration industry for 30+ years. Right out of high school. 10 in manufacturing, 20+ in engineering from design, testing, fabrication, to installation, installation training etc. After so long, you get exposure to most everything in your chosen industry.
I am looking forward to maybe helping out, but I also look forward to learning new things from the experts.

BarnBuilder1,
I assume you are talking about kitchen counters for this project. Are you trying to get the best value for the lowest investment. ...or is resale in a pricey neighborhood the focus?
