Being a frugal (cheap) person, I bought the cork needed at an "Ace Hardware" Store. It is available in various thickness and up to 8' lengths (rolls). I hope they still carry it. If not perhaps "Home Depot?" The LHS is a little pricey. Most of my road is of Homasote underlayment...good accoustically, cheap price, easily roughed for texture, takes paint well, pourous enough to add light & utility poles easily, etc. Be sure to wear protective glasses and face mask when ripping with a saw! Not sophisticated enough? You can always spend more on foam. Crumbling cork should not be a problem, especially in the high humidity of New Orelans. However, in a dry climate, it wouldn't hurt to apply a coat of sanding sealer. Please give my regards to Arnauds and the Court of Two Sisters and a big hug for the Pearly Thomas Cars on St. Charles Street.
