[SML] granulated cork

[Duncan Mahoney]

Maryland cork was able to tell me how many pounds to the cubic foot there
were for the grind size we wanted to use for a production last year.  They
may not advertise that spec as it might vary a bit seasonally depending on
the source of their current cork supply.  We bought a 20/40 grind which at
that time was about 7-8 lbs per cubic foot.  The cork held up well, was
dustier than we expected, and much easier to load in and out than the sand
which was the alternative (500 lbs vs 6,000 lbs)  The delivered cost for the
cork was not that much greater than the sand would have been but YMMV
