Granulated Cork?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Does anyone know where I can obtain this? It is sometimes used inside Italian, Japanese, or Maltese shells as a replacement for polverone or rice hulls. I am looking forward to buying approximately 20 pounds of it in a cheap fashion. It needs to be around 4 mesh. Is there another name for it? I live in Nebraska.

 

-Thanks!

Have you tried using this new fangled invention called Google? Actually, I already know the answer to that is a resounding no. We help those who help themselves here.

Lol, Google is not new. If fact, it has been invented since 1998. Yes, I tried it, but I don't know what could be out there. For instance, I don't know if someone could be holding a massive load of this granulated cork and selling it cheaply.

Yet, somehow you still missed all the US suppliers. Maryland Cork is where most people get it from.

 

For what it's worth, this is one of the biggest benefits to joining a club. In fact, the club most local to you (Midlands) did a group buy of granular cork within the last year or so.

By the way, sorry for the sarcasm. I got way too far ahead of myself.

I doubt you find it cheaply. In fact I bet it's quite the opposite since it was expensive the last time I saw it in a group buy and things have just gone up since then.

 

You might try cotton seeds or puffed rice or some other type of puffed cereal. There isn't a lot of magic in the burst carrier and there are many other details that are going to have a much more significant impact on shell quality. In fact, I doubt there is anyone in the world that could pick shells out by burst carrier. It's also mainly used in very large shells which I would be surprised if you are attempting by your questions here.
