Can cork rolls and sheets be painted or stained?
You can use any wood-compatible stain or paint on
cork rolls and sheets. We frequently recommend the "Minwax" brand, but any brand should suffice. You may need to apply multiple coats to achieve the desired color, as cork tends to absorb much of the first coat, resulting in a lighter color than expected. Wait for each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
