Did you remove it from the bottle first? What Size Screws? Find Suitable Drill for Cork, what Disc height do you need, find sharp blade hacksaw might make a mess.

I bought some 3M 468MP Adhesive Transfer Tape, 12" squares (pack of 6) from Amazon. I then found the Michaels craft store sold some cork squares, cut them down to size to fit my heat bed and then used the 3M adhesive to hold it on.

It’s worked for for me for over 2 years now with no sign of peeling off like this.

Tks! I'll try to find this 3M adhesive!

Doublesided tape for carpets worked for me too, but I don't print ABS often. Bed temps usually below 60°C
