Can I find it at home despot?  do i steal it from my local shop?  (jokes)
I don't want the $45, tricked out one that toko.com sells, just a basic cork?

a 2cm in diameter cork will work GREATTT for 2 skis, adn then you have to use it more...


go to you local shop and thell them you need a basic cork theyll show you whats good. or if you know any racers see if they have an old/extra one you can buy off of them

A cork should only be about $5 from your local ski shop.

that would be killer...  especially cause i will probably end up waxing my brother's snowboard with it.
and my local shop is a) small and b)closing in early march, so they are pretty much empty of anything except xxl clothes, cause their are no true gangsters in Olney, MD(16th best suburbia to live in. STAND UP!)
also.
don't ask for karma.  bad form.  i'll give it to you anyways, cause i appreciate the input, but alot of people won't take that sasss.
i guess you guys answered my question though.  I will have to order one.
I would like my skis waxed  by this weekend, and i have everything except a suitable cork, so i might be using a wine bottle cork, cut in half. free
karma all around
and you didn't even have to ask for it!
