Quartet Cork Rolls, Strips, 24 x 48 inches, Corkboard, Bulletin Board, Natural, 1 Roll (103)

I have used about 8 rolls so far, lining tool drawers and the inside bottoms of my tool boxes. (I don't like the rubber/foam tool drawer liners) I use contact cement for fixing it in place. This is a material made from a natural resource AND it is thin, you might get a crack or 2 from handling. Personally, I expected that to happen. From my experience, cracks tend to affect the inside of the rolls, understandable since the cork has the tightest bending there. I cover the sides and bottom of the drawers with a single piece. I am able to get the cork nice and tight in the corners of the sides and bottom. This is good for use as a lining material, or for the bottom of a lamp, etc. to prevent scratches on furniture. I would not try to use this for a cork noteboard with using thumbtacks. It is just too thin. Yes, it is easy to cause it to crack if you are not careful. I recommend making sure you have a large, unobstructed area to roll it out. Have a couple of small, heavy objects/paper weights ready to hold it down to lay out, measure and cut it. I am very happy with the performance of this cork sheet and I intend to keep ordering it. Update: It's 2024 and I have now ordered and used in the neighborhood of 100 rolls. I have gotten 1 roll with a large hole in it. Out of 100, 1 had a bad spot, I'm not sweating it. I have since discovered the best way to cut it is with cheap scissors. You want to use cheap, thin bladed scissors. Thicker bladed scissors seem to cause small cracking of the edges more easily. Another note, there are some occasional small, hard, woody "granules", scissors seem to push them out of the way ok, but if cutting with razor knife, continue with a new blade tip.

Worked great for my purpose, which was to line all the drawers in my kitchen and a bunch in my bathroom, too. The cork is too thin to use as a bulletin board, I reckon, but to line or cover anything it's perfect. It was very easy to cut and trim, and the sizes aligned just right with my cabinets so that I didn't have an inch leftover. It looks great in there under some wooden drawer dividers, like a very posh kitchen instead of my cruddy little apartment. ;) Best of all, it keeps everything from rattling around when you open the drawers. Good stuff, best price I found.

I purchased this to use as a drawer liner for our dish drawer so that the dishes don't slide around when the drawer is opened and closed. This worked nicely. It was easy to cut and place in the drawer and our dishes stay put. It would have been nice if it were offered in larger sizes so that once piece could cover the entire drawer but that's not the fault of this particular product. It is thin so you do have to be careful when unrolling and measuring it so you don't tear it. It also helps to use a new utility knife blade (or use a scissors) so that you don't snag and tear it when cutting. Otherwise I don't mind it being thin and it's held up well to daily use. I also put it in my spice pull-out and it's been great at keeping my spices in place. I didn't want to use anything with adhesive backing so this has been a great option.

I lined some shelves in our RV to keep things from sliding. For example, I used it in the TV cabinet to keep the DVD player from sliding during travel. I used small staples to fasten it down. It is thin and will tear easily so you must be careful when handling it.

I am MORE than disappointed with this “cork” roll. Its more like paper than cork. I wish I had read the other reviews first. I purchased with the intention of taking the glass out of a shabby chic frame, inserting this and using as a cork board not so much for using everyday but for stationary purposes. I wanted my doctors numbers available, pictures of the grandkids etc. but not to be putting pins in every where over and over. The rest I was going to use for drawer liner. Well first to get the big huge pieces of tape off and the wrap around paper that tells you what this is cost me several inches of it across the board. It is so paper thin that it started to rip immediately. Super upset about that. I will be returning and want this company to pull this product. If you see all the complaints realize we are giving you the heads up here.

The cork board is an ok quality, but it is quite thin. I bought it to go behind a map for push pins, but I still end up pushing the pins through the cork board and into the wall. If you're too rough with it, it can tear easily due to its thinness.

I am using this as a thin protective layer on top of a new natural, unfinished cherry desk. It takes the place of a mouse pad also. It unrolled nicely and is working perfectly for this purpose. My only complaint is I cannot find it longer than 48”. The brands that make longer rolls (at this width) have horrible reviews (break apart upon unrolling). This is not thick enough for a bulletin board fyi but it’s great for lining drawers or as I’m using it, for a desk topper. I love it! Buying more to line drawers.

I purchased a roll to use as a dampener for speaker mounting bracket clamps that I designed for some 2" 6w speakers I am using in my small cigar box project applications. These 2" speakers do not have any bracket for installing, so I fashioned some out of 3/16" ply wood used spray adhesive to adhere the cork to the surface of the bracket clamps, and I sandwiched the speaker between the inside speaker face and the bracket clamp, and cinched tight with four brass or stainless steel 8-32 x 3/4" machine screws. The cork provides a nice cushion for the speaker housing and the cigar box face. With the cork, I can cinch a little tighter to prevent speaker clap. I also plan to use the cork on the bottom of wood feet used on my cigar box speaker/amplifiers. This powerful little amplifier/speakers can walk on a hard lacquered surface and cause chatter due to the vibration. I plan to use the same spray adhesive to adhere the cork to the bottom of each of the four feet mounted to the bottom of the cigar boxes. It will prevent walk and chatter. I'm also considering using the cork to seal my cigar box enclosures to prevent sound leakage, but may need a thinner cork sheet/roll. I was using a 3/16" foam adhesive weatherstrip, but it is too thick to be of any practical use. There are lots of uses for this product. I have attached a photo of its use in one of my cigar box applications.
