I have used about 8 rolls so far, lining tool drawers and the inside bottoms of my tool boxes. (I don't like the rubber/foam tool drawer liners) I use contact cement for fixing it in place. This is a material made from a natural resource AND it is thin, you might get a crack or 2 from handling. Personally, I expected that to happen. From my experience, cracks tend to affect the inside of the rolls, understandable since the cork has the tightest bending there. I cover the sides and bottom of the drawers with a single piece. I am able to get the cork nice and tight in the corners of the sides and bottom. This is good for use as a lining material, or for the bottom of a lamp, etc. to prevent scratches on furniture. I would not try to use this for a cork noteboard with using thumbtacks. It is just too thin.Yes, it is easy to cause it to crack if you are not careful. I recommend making sure you have a large, unobstructed area to roll it out. Have a couple of small, heavy objects/paper weights ready to hold it down to lay out, measure and cut it.I am very happy with the performance of this cork sheet and I intend to keep ordering it.Update: It's 2024 and I have now ordered and used in the neighborhood of 100 rolls. I have gotten 1 roll with a large hole in it. Out of 100, 1 had a bad spot, I'm not sweating it. I have since discovered the best way to cut it is with cheap scissors. You want to use cheap, thin bladed scissors. Thicker bladed scissors seem to cause small cracking of the edges more easily. Another note, there are some occasional small, hard, woody "granules", scissors seem to push them out of the way ok, but if cutting with razor knife, continue with a new blade tip.
