How thick is the cork? Can it absorb a normal sized push pin without the pin punching through?

My push-pins stick out of the back about 1/16 of an inch. By subtraction, the board itself (with cardboard backing) seems to be about 5/16 of an inch thick (just over 1/4).

Yes the cork can handle the normal sized push pin. I use a little bit bigger than normal with the decorator head. Works great.

the cork isn't very thick but the normel size pin works great and we are very pleased with it.I kind of wished we had gotten a little larger one.

I just measured mine. It is 5/16th of an inch thick. So that's slightly thicker than one-fourth of an inch.

I can answer on the thickness for sure, but I was using jumbo push pins with a 3/8" metal pin part and didn't have an issue.

Thank you for your interest in this punch. This punch will punch a 1 1/4" diameter so you would have to measure the bottle cap to see if it would work for you. As for the magnet crafts that would also depend on the size you are wanting to cover.

It is very slim but once you open the pin it is almost impossible to put back , I gave up just did the best I could and shoved it into the closet, I use it to take are two cats on are RV trips in the truck , then I use it for my two small dogs to sit out with us, I like the pin but very hard to maneuver around lol

Hello. No, you cannot just push the pins in. The back board is solid. You can gently hammer pushpins in, or pin items to the ribbon or twill with sewing or florist pins. Test the weight of the items first, then have fun. I havefairly heavy jewelry hanging on rows of pushpins.

I do not know. We did not try any. All of our pins have the "stick" to push thru. However I do not think Velcro would work properly. The fabric is fairly thin.

Not sure exactly but if I had to guess maybe 3/8 of an inch. Just just regular pushpins and it works great.

I just use small tacks/pins like for the backboard of my cubicle desk. nothing too big or heavy duty to avoid leaving holes in the cork.

I would say that this cork is pretty thin, however, they were gifts to my neices and I haven't noticed how much the push pins go in..

I think you would have a problem with something as thick as a penny.The punch is great but for a penny I would use a drill.

Yes, it would be easy to punch a hole through the cork. The roll is also easy to cut with scissors.

I can't give an exact measurement, but these pins are pretty sturdy. I'm able to push them into my blocking board without having to worry about the pins bending. Can't even bend them by hand.

The bulletin board is made of metal so the holes are for you to put the pushpins into when you want to pin anything up. The pushpins wouldn't be able to penetrate the metal otherwise. It comes with some pushpins and magnets, by the way.

I would say about 3 to 4mm without measuring. it was too thick for me to put inside a credit card slot I had to put it in the cash pocket.

I do not know the exact thickness. It's not very thick but it does work well with the regular-size push-pins I'm using.
