I didn't seal the corks in the trivits, as there was no need for that, but in your case I agree that the corks have to be sealed or leveled in some way. I don't think that I would try sheallac, or a leveling components, since the corks are so porious, I don't think you would be happy with the results. I do like the idea of using glass. I think I would make a base piece, put the corks down, and then cover the whole thing with a shatter proof glass. That way it would easy to clean, and you could always pull the glass up if you wanted to change the design of the corks. I really would like to know what you decide to do, and if possible would love to see a picture of the final project. WOW, a really neat idea.
