When we purchased our house 3 years ago we didn't notice a crack in the corian counter top. The crack is more noticable now because some dirt has gotten into the crack. The countertop is a cream color. There are also some holes/divits in the countertop. I am guessing that I can just sand them out. Is that correct?
Thanks for the help.

For routine care and maintenance: DuPont™ Corian® - Care and Maintenance (http://www.corian.com/corian/c/en/c/Owner_Support/CareandMaintenanceList.html)
It is recommended that you contact your local Corian supplier re: repair. Cracked area is cut out and a patch installed. Sometimes acrylic resin adhesives or super thin cyanoacrylates are used, depending on width of crack.
Unless the issue of why the counter cracked is addressed, any repair may be a waste of time and money as crack may return.
