Plastikote is very thin liquid. It would be difficult to apply it to thickly - you just paint it on -it's very watery. Won't leave a texture.

There used to be issues of people saying the old Karlie wheels with the struts had caused bleeding feet (due to splinters) - but I have never heard of a problem with cork. The point of the cork is to give a softer, comfortable surface for them to run on - more so than plastic.

I wouldn't worry about that.
