Detail 01
3/64 in. (1.2 mm) thickness
Roughly a quarter thinner than standard tenon stock, so it fits joints that already run tight with less sanding.

Allied Music SupplySheet Cork 3/64 in. (1.2 mm)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Natural sheet cork in 3/64 in. (1.2 mm) — thin stock for tenons where standard cork binds and for low-profile key bumpers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tight tenon sockets where 1.6 mm cork will not seat
- Thin key bumpers and silencers on close-tolerance mechanisms
- A repair bench that already stocks the thicker sheet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Badly worn sockets needing bulk — go thicker
- One-off home fixes at this quantity and price
- Anyone expecting pre-cut tenon strips
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Thin stock, less margin
There is little material to sand away. Fit is closer to as-glued, so cut and press carefully.
Detail 03
Sheet, not pre-cut strips
You size each piece yourself — tenon wraps, bumpers, small pads — from the same sheet.
Detail 04
Natural cork
Still compresses and seals, but a thin layer wears through sooner than 1.6 mm on a joint assembled daily.
Detail 05
Priced as bench stock
Makes sense as shop inventory alongside thicker cork, not as a single-repair purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Contact cement and a sharp blade are not included
- 02Measure the old cork first — most tenons want 1.6 mm, not this
- 03Cork grease is separate; assemble a dry thin cork and it tears
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01When do I use 1.2 mm instead of 1.6 mm cork?
When the socket is still tight and standard cork makes the joint impossible to push together, or when a key bumper needs a very low profile.
02Can I stack two layers to get thicker cork?
Better to buy the correct thickness. Stacked layers can separate at the glue line and compress unevenly under joint pressure.
03Will this work for flute key bumpers?
Yes, thin cork is common for silencing flute mechanism contact points. Cut small pieces and sand the height to set regulation.
04Is this enough for one repair?
Far more than one. It is sheet stock sold for bench use, so a single tenon job uses a small fraction of it.
