Is the cork thick enough for staples and push pins?

NO - DO NOT PURCHASE. The rails were bent and the cork is thin. Out of the eight we ordered we sent seven back. We should have sent back all eight. Cork will not hold a push pin or a staple. These are not appropriate in a class room or a business setting. We are still looking for other options.

Yes it is, I install a couple of the for a client that wanted to hang some college flags. They used push pins. I believe the cork is 1/4" tick.

Our Map rail is used to hang quilting materials. We use regular pins and it holds them well although they do not do in very far. I would think that push pins would work if the objects are not too heavy, but this cork is not think enough for staples.

Just checked regarding staples - no problem. Push pins work but a typical push pin is longer than cork is thick. We are using the long hat pin type pins and putting them in at an angle.

I actually have the magnetic ikea containers that I use for spices and they definitely stick securely to this pushpin board. Hope that helps.

As the cork board is framed, I would say cutting it wouldn't be wise. As to how thick it is, I don't know. However, when hanging a calendar, we found it best to use at least two push pins. Hope this helps!

The magnet is strong enough to keep all my pins in it without falling out but it's not so strong that I can't grab them. I think it is designed for your application!

Hi ... it comes with small cork screw pins that didn't work well at all for me

It's the thickness of regular poster board. If you are only folding it once to make a book cover I think it would work for that.

Yes, but the staples do tear it a bit and do not hold super long from my experience. We stapled it to wood to hold it in place while we placed a nice vinal covering over it. We ended up stapling the vinal tight to the wood and the material kept the padding in place.

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.

Yes, make sure the pressure is high enough, and that you are loading the staples correctly. I also started using it and it wouldn't fire the staple. I wasn't putting them in right.

It should. The stapler works with a wide variety of staple lengths. You want a shorter staple that will drive all the way down so as to firmly press against the fabric. The harder the wood, the shorter the length needed. I got one of those "variety packs", so I could experiment. I did OK with 1/4" tongs. You may need longer depending on how heavy the fabric is.

Yes , The pins are strong enough. They do not need to penetrate very far to get an accurate reading. Keep in mind to get the best reading , freshly split the wood an then test.

One of the best I've ever used. All I know is that it sinks my 1/4 inch staples better and more consistently than others. I believe it will do fine for what you're planning.

If the wood is not hard and you find long enough staples it may work. It is a powerful stapler but it looks like you are taking it to the limit

You can use regular push pins. There is cork underneath. You can also use magnets.

I was going to use a pushpin, but thought of danger if toddle removed it, so I actually used a staple gun to tack it to the wall. Hope this helps..!

Probably, but only if you covered the entire back surface with tape. That would probably give you enough strength initially. Trouble is the adhesive in the tape will lose its tack over time and will also be subject to being yanked off the wall everything someone touches the cork, pulls out staples from it, etc. I wouldn't see it staying up long.

Yes. The trick is to not push the pin completely out of the other side-leave a tiny bit protruding through the flat piece and that helps line it all up.
