| Installation: After careful application of adhesive, lightly position the cork, and if correct press firmly in place (Rolling is recommended). Hammer brads/headless nails into all corners and areas that may not adhere. |

| Finishing: Cork is a wood product and can be stained, painted or varnished. We suggest you test on spare piece first. For the perfect built-in bulletin board, you may tack picture frame molding around the cork. |

wall: A cork wall covering does not show scratches, dents or nail holes. Ideal pin-up area. Absorbs unwanted noises. You may use fine sandpaper to remove any unwanted marks. |
