Anyone have a good source for rolls of cork? I've search and there's a bunch in Google, but I'm looking for someone that has bought and knows of a reputable dealer versus going with Google's picks...

Customer called back in a matter of minutes after I posted and changed his mind. Don't cha love it! Oh well, not much effort expended...

Thanks for anyone who looked already....

Hi Steve, You could try Vellumoid. They have a $200 minimum. Here is a link, look up composition cork. http://www.vellumoid.com/amorim2.html Good luck! Oops, too late!

I see you no longer need it, but if you need rolls or cork in the future, every Ace Hardware stocks it in 2 thicknesses, I think it was 1/8 and 1/4 inch.

I bought a roll from Michaels Craft Stores. Adhesive backed.

Thanks everyone - I knew Office Max carries it as well, but theirs is 2X4 and this guy was wanting a full 4X8 sheet/roll and possibly larger. He wasn't very committed to the sale, so I didn't think it would complete.

As always - the Creekers come through and offer up very valuable information...

Thanks...

I purchased a 200 SF roll of 1/4" thick cork from EcoChoices (http://www.ecobydesign.com/shop/cork/cork_underlayment.html) (4' x 50') in June 2008 for a set of outdoor bulletin board kiosks I built last summer. The roll was $202.70 including shipping to NC and the service was less than 10 days. The material is designed as underlayment, but was of very good quality. I used an underlayment adhesive to glue it to tempered hardboard; the bulletin boards were protected behind 39" x 43" Lexan-glazed oak doors.
