Hi Hazel,

I usually go to the local hardware store and buy a pack of cork tiles (for flooring).  Dirt cheap, and you can get different thicknesses too.  Just cut or break them to the size you need.

Cheers,
Aidan

Hi,

Does anyone know of a company that sells cork discs/board for freezing
small specimens. I used to know of some in the UK but now I've moved out
to California  it's not so easy knowing who to contact.

Many thanks

Hazel Stevens
