go out to some store and buy the crappiest ugliest coasters with cork backing you can find and remove the cork from the coaster

To do what? So I get coasters, and I get the cork, and I ____. What do I do?

why have you posted this topic 4 times in the forum??

Not really a cost effecive supply of cork.

You can get 8"x10" sheets of cork at a craft store for $0.99 each. Probably cheaper than getting a set of cheap coasters and destroying them. You would get a bunch more cork as well. You can also buy it in different thicknesses.




And now, the rest of the story...

They are used in making buildings, to replicate brick or rock. See here for one method. You can also cut individual bricks or rocks out of it and stack them.


Good question.

Oh, I see, I completely forgot about that! DERRR (no head slapping emotion?)

I think I know the reason why there are four of these, sometimes, if your computer gets stuck after clicking the "submit" button, its easy to get frustrated and click it a couple more times. It happens all the time in replies.

I dunno man, im not that big of a Star wars fan... but I like chocolate milk

Hi Luke,

If I'm not mistaken perhaps you are trying to tell us to use cork as diorama material. They are indeed good for simulating cobblestone work and walls.

Gino is right, you can purchase large sheet much cheaper at your local Home Depot than buying the "crappiest" coasters around. I'd save these coasters to rest a refreshing beverage of your choice.

It's nice to see someone your age (I guess you are rather young) that is interested in this hobby. Just take your time to post and check your spelling and punctuations. It would be much easier to help you if we can understand you little better!

I deleted the others.

Luke,luke use the force
Thats a corker :-)

Hi guys !
Sorry if this will sound stupid but my english isn't so good to know all the words!!
What is the cork you are refering to???
is it a brick shaped [auto-censored]?

If you have a Hobby Lobby near you, they also carry sheet cork. You get a lot more usable cork for a lot less cost.

I picked up a sheet of 1/8" thick cork in a 2'x4' roll for about $4. More than enough to do a lot of buildings, roads, etc. "Q"
