   we've been using a product called mystera. Comes in 3/4" thicknesses and is really quite interesting compared to the boring colors of Corian and the knock offs.

   does the mystera have the same working and forming properties of the corian like solid surface products.?

   It's said to be about the same. I don't know myself. It is a nice looking product. http://www.mysterasolidsurface.com

   yes, it can be seamed, and shaped just like Corian. It's comes in 3/4" thickness instead of 1/2" like Corian so it's heavy as hell but only needs one layer of buildup or it can be used at just 3/4". A word on seaming it though. It's very noticeable because of the patterns. You can really take your time and try to match the patterns, but I've found it's extremely difficult to do it. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend it for a large kitchen top. It's best suited for applications where you can get everything out of one piece. It's decent stuff though and can be polished to a high gloss to more closely resemble granite.
