Works Great
I used it as a backing and spacer for some mirrors and it worked great.

Tough to place
We bought this to use for drawer and shelf lining. It works well for that purpose.Bad points, 1) due to the adhesive backing, these rolls are difficult to lay flat for cutting. 2) removing the backing stretches the cork so that it becomes longer than the cut needed, requiring trimming. 3) the adhesive is really strong. It sticks to your fingers, itself, passing dogs, and the work surface before you are ready and can not always be removed without damaging the cork.Once down, and properly placed this is perfect for our needs. Which is good, since the next owner will need to rip out the shelves if they don’t like cork.

Looks great, but not for the novice decorator
I bought this self-adhesive cork roll to cover a small clear acrylic display stand that had some unsightly cracks in it. I thought the cork, with its natural medium brown coloring, would match my decor well and nicely set off the figurines I wanted to display on it. I have never worked with cork before, and I don't often use self-adhesive materials, so be aware that any faults found could be due to my own inexperience.I always like to start off with the good qualities. You get quite a lot of cork sheeting for a very good price, in my opinion. The individual, I guess you'd call them cells (?), are small and uniform in size making the material very attractive. Additionally, the thin material is flexible enough to curve nicely around a 90-degree angle, and the adhesive backing will hold it very securely in place, probably forever.The product page shows an entire sheet of the material stuck directly to the wall in use as a bulletin board. At only 1/8 of an inch thick, I'm not convinced thumbtacks or push pins will stay in very well over time. Also, incredibly strong adhesive means you're never going to be able to move it, so you better make sure you have it perfectly aligned and exactly where you want it to stay forever before you stick it onto anything. If you want a bulletin board without having to go out and buy a bulletin board, you'd be better off sticking this stuff to a piece of acoustical tile or polystyrene insulation and then hanging that on your wall.Speaking of the super - strong adhesive, be careful how you handle it once you peel the backing off. At first, I gripped it too tightly and wasn't handling it by the edges, and it reminded me very much of the time I stepped on a glue - board mousetrap in my bare feet. I did end up tearing one piece of this material because it was stuck so securely to me. You should also expect the adhesive to make an absolute mess of whatever you use to cut it. I found that after the first or second cut, scissors were a disaster. They made a ragged and unattractive edge. I had similar problems trying to slice through it with a utility knife. Finally, I found that a sharp utility blade that I could push straight down through the material and lift straight out worked much better, but it was much more time consuming. A sharp rotary cutter might have been the best tool to use, but by that time I was done with my project.On the whole, I was very pleased with how my project turned out, and I think an experienced crafter with the proper tools will appreciate this material even more than I do.

Multiple uses for this super-sticky cork
This is a finer type, smooth cork. I have a 4-foot planter box hubby made for me, seen in the background of my photo, and so my project is adding contact paper to it to dress it up, and I'm using cork cutouts to dress it up further, add something dimensional, earthy. This cork cuts very easily and gives smooth edges without crumbling away. I practiced with a piece and I can get accurate very tiny pieces if I want. So, for crafting, it's a great product. I will have leftover, and I happen to have drawers in my desk that are black on the inside, can't see a thing in there, plus my items roll all over the place, so I will line those two drawers with cork. A small sample piece sticks Great!. Also, I took a large wooden picture frame and lined it with the cork and I use pushpins to hang my oversized necklaces, so it's like a framed corkboard. I'm also thinking, being that it cuts so well and holds a nice clean edge, I could cut half-inch strips and stick them onto the face of wooden shelving unit I made, finish off the edge, corky-looking. There are multiple uses, and I would imagine a search would give Even more!. Again, it's super sticky, a good thing, but I was able to remove to realign. It's a special item for sure, very nice.

Super Thick
This is twice as thick as the other cork shelf liner I put in. It has a nice fresh cork smell. The cork is sort of hard to cut. Using a box cutter created a jagged edge. Using sewing scissors was smoother, but the cork adhered to the blades and was hard to get off. Using a wheel cutter jammed it up pretty quickly. It tends to be crumbly when you cut the pieces thin. If you try to lay it in a large sheet, you get one chance to put it down, and then you can't lift it again. It glues right away.I used it to deaden sound, and it does that. It is a nice color. It is pretty spongy once laid down. I would say that it is pretty difficult to work with. The paper often didn't peel off the back completely especially on smaller pieces. I ended up just leaving some paper stuck underneath.

Good Protection From Scratching Surfaces
I use this to line the bottom of coasters I use. It is helpful in protecting surfaces from the ceramic tiles scratching table tops. I like to use cork rather than felt as the cork does not slide around as much and the adhesive doesn't effect the material like glue does with felt. I am sure there are other applications for self adhesive cork, but my use so far has been strictly to cover the bottoms of items that might scratch the surface they are placed on. this does a good job.

Not worth the cost
Sadly, this is very weak and crumbles when you try to remove the adhesive from the cork. One roll's adhesive was old and we had to use tape to secure it to the cabinet. Very disappointing.
