Would this work to reinforce the back of a thick foam board which is lined with cork?

yes. a single layer of woven (as opposed to chop mat) fiberglass won't add a lot of rigidity though. plan on a few layers.

I'm sure it will providing you go past the bad section by at (I recommend) 3 inches And you rough up the area just a little so it can bond to it. And this area will be a lot harder than the rest. And use the Bondo for it.

It's difficult to say without disassembling or damaging the unit. The back is covered with a very thin silver foil, which I tore open to see underneath...a firm, yellowish, non-cork-like material (foam?). My hunch is that the cork facing is a very thin sheet; I estimate (by pushing a pin completely thru) the total thickness of the material that holds pins to be ca. 3/8" or 1 cm. It's solid and holds pins firmly but probably mostly foam.

Yes but you will need to put something in the gap like foam or shims of wood, but it does work!!

I don't think so,, you could, if your very creative,, attach it to a heavy 2X10 board. That would make it heavy. This item is made of plastic and the underside is hollow.

Hi Heidi, did you ever try this? I was wondering the same thing one doesn't seem to hold the corkboard....thanks

yes, I was thinking about putting a foam piece on the back to tighten it up

I'm pretty sure it will, however I imagine that it will have less surface area to hold the boards down, but should still work.

Maybe if you could glue a piece of small molding on. But I would not try to nail it because it would probably split the board. Hope this helps.

The Contact Cork I purchased was almost 1/4 inch thick. Worked real well for the coasters I was making.

it can, since the clamp is super tight; you can be creative on where to place the clamp. But it will vibrate a bit; as you're moving. If the board is greater than two inches, it will not work, since the clamp can open up so much. If the board is thin enough, then the clamp should be able to brace on anything tubular or flat. Good luck!

If you want to hold the board up, no. If you want to tack the corners to hold level, yes. If you want to attach items to the board, as long as they are not too heavy, like sheets of paper, I would say yes. The Blu-Tack will conform to the rough texture of the cork board and grip, allowing light objects to be attached with the Blu-Tack. Hope this answers your question

The foam is dense enough. I could see quartering it for a tight fit. I would make sure about whatever adhesive I tried. Heck it might turn out to be a marketable idea.

Putting the pieces of foam back in seems unlikely unless you glue it. I'd hesitate to say it would look good even if that approach worked.

It's fairly thin... I had a little problem getting the backer and Lens through. If it is a really thick piece of cork board, it may be a little thin.

It would probably work. You will have to maybe use double sided tape to secure the bottom of the board to keep it from sliding off.

You probably could. You might want to clamp a wider board in the jaws to support whatever is being out-fed. Or you could clamp a roller in the jaws and use that as your outfeed support.

I don't think this would work. There is only 5 5/8" from the fence to the slotted plate that secures the board. If you removed the plate and used a 45 degree wedge, only one of the clamps would contact the material because of the way they are implemented.
