Hi guys I wanted to give a compliment to widgetco.com I bought a huge roll of cork 2mm (1/16) thick. I'm going to use it for tree stands for 15mm and etc. I thought it a good find and at 43$ USD, I could not pass. Fast service and shipping was free over 40$ (In the US) Linked BBCode (message boards)

You'd have to laminate it together, two or three layers thick with PVA, I'd guess, to get sufficient strength and thickness. But – on the positive side – two or three sheets laminated with glue would probably be stronger tan a comparable thickness of solid cork. The glue would help, I would think. John T |

That's a great find TC especially with the free P&p for you in the US. 30' is enough for a ton of projects.You might even do a a roll up table top , though as JT suggests you have to strengthen it with Pva + paper or find a roll of that strong 2" wide tape they use for carpets. Thanks for the share
