I'm trying to create a cork bulletin board for my cube, but having
trouble with ideas for the solid backing for the cork. My first attempt
was to have two layers of 3/16" cork over hardboard. The thumbtacks
don't stick into the hardboard. I went around the BigBox today and
couldn't find any materials that would accept a thumbtack.

Anyone got ideas? I'm not married to cork as a material.

Cork floor tiles. Stick 'em to whatever. They're thick enough that a
tack will go full length into the cork without hitting the substrate.
Should be 3-4 bucks a pop if you can find them.
