Hay all! I'm using cork to make indy bricks for the rubble in my Italy dio an was wondering if anyone knew a way to make the cork "bricks" not look like painted cork.

I was thinking along the line of ipping bricks in PVA dilluted with water but, I would like to try techniques used by some of you.

Please help!!!

i have been doing the same and its my first time using them. i have laid the brick and filled the gaps then after it had dryed for a day or to sandid the surface with course paper and it looks like it may work will let you know when i have painted and post a pic.
