Looking for cork drawer liner for old Huot tool boxes

[ArtisanFarms]

I found this Huot toolbox on Marketplace earlier this week and other than a missing handle on the top box it is complete and in reasonable condition considering it has to be at least 60 years old.

I’m planning to just clean it up and would like to find cork for the drawers. Any ideas where to get some cork?

Also check the big box home centers for floor underlayment.

If it doesn’t have to be vintage, period correct material, go with old (but clean) yoga mats. Works for me.

Otherwise Amazon has 2’ x 4’ rolls of cork 1/8 inch thick for $25 each.

You can buy cork material in the kitchen department at IKEA. They sell it in rolls for kitchen drawers. You can cut to fit easily with a mat knife.

I got a roll of adhesive backed cork from Home Depot, it's in their drawer liner section.

It would get a little expensive if you wanted to do a whole chest, but I used mine to cover a single pressboard shelf and turn it into a light workbench. I also used some leftover trimmings as bump stops for my kitchen cabinets and to fix a squeaky wood bedframe; handy stuff.

Sorry it's a bit of a mess right now but you can see the cork under the soldering gear. I believe I used this stuff:
