Cork Suppliers?
Hi All,
I am in the process of making some place mats and coasters for the kitchen table, and need some thin cork sheet to glue to the base to stop potential scratching.
I have looked locally, but cannot find any suppliers of smaller quantities. Any suggestions for Victoria welcomed.
Thanks all.

I wanted some cork sheet for a project and found some in a tile shop, maybe worth a look over there in Oz.

Embletons in Bakers Rd, North Coburg used to sell sheet cork - not sure if they still do. Some years ago I bought some 1/8 inch from them to use as under tracks on a model railway.
Hope that helps.Tom

Tile shop as has been suggested, and/or floor covering shop. A number of years ago I made notice boards out of 300mm square cork floor tiles about 10mm thick, the best for drawing pins but I also bought a pack of very thin self stick tiles which were only about 1 to 2mm thick which should be perfect for under place mats etc, not good enough for notice boards though.
Regards,
Bob

Not that eBay is necessarily the best place for price though cava , there is a huge range there though and some of it looks like its cheap enough .
I was surprised last week when I was looking up Makita Belt sanders on eBay . The 9924Db model is around $450 to $600 . Ive never really looked at any before that . Then I happened to be at a up market hardware store and timber yard in Tooronga Melbourne last Saturday buying some Pine and I thought Id go see their Makita belt sanders to compare .
Well I'll be ######!! is what I thought when I saw $379 .

If you get desperate, Westfloors in Brisbane. Operated by a husband and wife team and they have been around for years. Our High School buys the thin cork (0.6mm) in sheets sized around 900mm x 600mm and I affix them to ply sheets by a Selleys spray adhesive and they are cut on the laser into coasters.

I know they are outside Victoria but they will mail it to you.
