Where to get small pieces of cork bark?

[leaveittoweaver]

Hey guys!

I'm struggling to find cheap pieces of smaller cork bark for slings. Any thoughts or ideas? Seems everywhere I've looked, they are around $5 a piece!

I did try using the search function, and not much came up.

Thanks for the help in advance.

New England Herpetoculture is the best! They have a gallon grab bag of small pieces or you can order bulk by the pound.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this stuff on the thread or not, so apologies in advance for any extra moderation required.

Just buy a large piece and cut it down yourself. You can use a box cutter, hack saw, small hand saw, even a steak knife will do the job, it's easy. I think the large pieces are also priced less than if you got multiple small pieces that added up to the one large piece, so if you need several small pieces you would save some money going that route.

I just buy large bulk pieces and smash some for smaller pieces. Or just let the slings burrow, which many do at small sizes--no cork needed.

Thanks for all of the help every one! Going to order a few of those gallon bags! Great idea.

You could also get cork boards used to make bulletin boards and then cut them into whatever size you need. Something like: http://www.staples.ca/en/Staples-Cork-Tiles-12-x-12-4-Pack/product_457619_2-CA_1_20001
