thunter9, Thanks for the link! The stuff I'm looking for is the powder already mixed with an adhesive. It is commonly used in traditionally made shoes as a filler in the sole. I made cork powder in a blender and tried bonding it with woodworkers glue and Barge. The woodworkers glue mixture didn't work well as the granules didn't want to consolidate together. The Barge mixture worked well when allowed to dry in the open. I would like to compress the cork/adhesive mixture in a mold that is mostly closed. But the mixture just did not want to cure after many hours. I think that precludes solvent based adhesives as the solvent would not evaporate well. I thought I would try the premixed stuff to see how well it worked. The cork granules (powder link) is helpful. I was not able to get a consistent granule size "blending" my own cork. Do you have any recommendations for adhesives to bind it together and to leather? Funny you mentioned Fillauer as I was going to try order other supplies from them today. I just checked their catalog and they only have the thin cork sheet, not the premixed stuff. The reason I want the mixture is I have some aggressive 3D contours to fill and the sheets won't conform well enough (I tried, they just crack). Thanks!

This may be more revenant in the Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccasins sub-forum.

Does anyone know of a supplier for cork filler (eg, Flexofil, Stopgap, or other) in the US? This question was previously asked, but no one responded. I've searched online and in the forum, but can't find a supplier. Thanks!
