I have cork that needs to be as durable as possible. Picture something like a yoga matt. How do I seal the cork matt and prevent it from flaking when it is being stepped on. I also want to prevent any abrasion damage whilst maintaining the grip. I'm affraid a gloss finish may be too slippery. Any advice on what is best. Desired Cork Finish: Durable, Hard-wearing, Non-Flaking, Matt Finish. Side Note: The cork I have is rather brittle rather than super dense too.

I would think it would work fine on faux leather. I'm not sure about burning the textile because depending on what it's made of it can be really flammable and it could melt it. My best advice would be to try on a small scrap. Poly thread burns best.

@@SewGnar Hello ! For information, I've tried Eco Flo glue which is used for leathercrafting and for now, this is a failure. It takes ages to dry compared to fabri tac, has to be pressured a lot (I had to put clips) and it dries white. So it cannot replace the fabri tac or the fabric fusion. Too bad. Anyway, I've got another question : do you glue every parts together before sewing, including cork to cork pieces ? Or do you just glue vinyle to cork, pockets, and then sew everything ? Another question, I'm testing to edge paint directly with tokolone. Have you ever tried this ? If yes, what do you think of it ? Thanks :)
