Flipside Products Cork Roll 4' x 6' x 6MM - DIY Bulletin Board, Wall Accent, Dart Board Backing - Environmentally Friendly, Self-Healing Cork

I used this to line lots of wire shelving so small items don't wobble between the wires and glass jars don't clank when set on shelving. I put a pole through the center of the roll (broom handle would work), set either end up on two wire shelving units, and unrolled onto the top of folding tables. I used cardboard as a cutting guide and cut the cork with a box knife / razor blade. There were some jagged cuts where the cork "frayed" a bit, and a few cracked/split edges on maybe 8 of the 30 liners I made.Because its a roll the cork is very curved and I had to weight down the edges to get it flat. After sometime weighted it does now stay flat on its own. (I didn't check on it for a week or more, so not sure how long it takes to flatten out). Certainly more work than plastic shelf liners, but looks great, sounds nice when setting items on it, and way more ecologically sound. This stuff will turn back into soil quickly when I'm done with it, plastic will stick around for your grandkids to choke on.Looks too thin for a bulletin board, most tacks/pins would go through into the wall behind.*earthquake tested* had a 4.6 earthquake yesterday and I watched all the cork-lined shelving with hundreds of glass bottles and jars, nothing fell over!

Little dry and brittle. Perfect yield with extra couple inches.

Received the product in a timely manner. We would have preferred going with the cork board tiles, but the cost was prohibitive. So, on that note, you have to roll the roll out very carefully. Put weights on the ends. This will tear really easy, so you have to handle with kid gloves. We were using this corkboard for our Fellowship Hall Bulletin board at church. The installer had no help and so therefore it was a headache to put up. Once put up it looks great. I would highly recommend two people handling this product. It is not a one person job.

Do not buy this. I unrolled it to lay it flat to straighten it out for 24hrs and when i went to pick it up it was all dried out and it crumbled. Had to throw it away.

Use to line the drawers of a custom Shaker style workbench I made. Did not fall apart when unrolled. Has held together well and adhered well using contact adhesive around the edges.

I rolled this out and weighted it down weeks before trying to use it but it still curled up and was hard to cut. I tried heating it with a hair drier and weighted it down and it still curled up. I used it to make a mat for the top of our bar to protect the finnish but it sadly falls short of expectations. I needs to be glued down and even then I'm not sure that it would stay flat.

I was a little disappointed in the packing. It was a good quality cork for use as a cork-board, but the product was rolled so tightly that the last foot and a half was curled badly and simply unusable. When I attempted to straighten it, it simply cracked and split. Fortunately I didn’t need that last, but I had paid for it, hadn’t I…

Based on other reviews about it breaking when unrolling, we soaked this in the tub for a bit before unrolling. This may have been overkill and did take a couple of days to dry, but we unrolled it with no problems. The cork is nice and thick (I got the 6mm). It was slightly bigger than it was supposed to be (4' X 6'). It cut very easily and smoothly with a utility knife. We bought some Liquid Nails/extreme heavy duty adhesive at Lowe's and troweled it on the desk to put the cork on, then weighed it down with books for 24 hours (cure time on adhesive) and it worked beautifully. Looks great!
