Best source for cork?
Posted by: William Cunningham (---.client.mchsi.com)

I ordered some cork the other day from one of the sponsors, I was not happy with it or with the price. For some reason the sponsors are all missing from my screen, this happening to anyone else?

Can someone point me to a good source for cork rings?

Hi William! At the risk of sounding opportunistic, we're endeavoring to become one of the best sources for good cork. We are in the process of adopting the new "cork grading scale", but it does not reflect on our website yet...so, to give you an idea of what you can expect from our different grades, "Ultimate" is CG1, "Flor" is CG2 (though very good for that class), and "Super" is I guess technically CG3 but more accurately between 2 and 3. You can view our ring selection here: [www.rockymountainrodbuilding.com]

All the best,

The sponsers not being visible may be your PC anti virus software is blocking it. I know that Norton Internet Security 2004 blocks certain types of Active X controls, and when it's running, I can't see the sponser list either. I just disable my AV protection while I'm at this site, and re-enable it when I leave. Maybe others on this list have dealt with this also?

William, I had the same problem, (not seeing the sponsors). In my case it was the Norton antivirus. What I did was go to Norton Internet Security and "uncheck" the "block ads on this site".
That took care of it.
Good luck, pb

Thanks, it was the allowing of ads that did the trick.
John:
A great looking site, well organized and aesthetically pleasing. I found the way that you categorized components by line weight. It makes it much easier for the beginner (me) to locate the correct size.

Thanks, William! Like most websites, it's a work-in-progress, but we're pretty happy with the way it's turning out...glad to hear you were as well. I appreciate you taking the time to say so! :)

Hey Guys, it's the pop up blockers, not the antivirus! Norton Internet Security is different from Norton antivirus. It has pop up blockers, etc. which, IMO, causes far more problems than they cure.
