DIY cork deck pad

$

Hey all,

The last boards I built had cork decks and I really like the cleanliness and traction compared to standard wax. I want to retrofit another board with a cork deck but don't want to glue it on there directly using epoxy as I this will lower the price if I want to sell it again. 

Has anyone of you ever made their own cork deck pad to be glued to a board which could later be removed again like conventional deckpads? I'm thinking about laminating a cork sheet with a thin glass weave as a backing. Wax up a glass pane, laminate thin glass weave and cork with peelply on top. Apply vacuum for curing and removing excess resin. I could cut it to shape using scissors and would like to glue it to the board with a spray glue. 

Any thoughts about that? Do you have a suggestion for a glue that will withstand sea water but which I can remove sometime later using heat and/or a solvent?

Thanks and regards,

Sebastian
