Chuck Plains Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Picked some of these up last year, £4.99 for four mats. I'm using one in the kitchen and the other three are allocated for alternative purposes. Argos cutting mats. Approx 18" by 13" They are almost non stick, apart from the high temperature hot glue, or the best quality epoxy resin. But it's easy to smoothly cut most of that away with a fully extended heavy duty snap off knife blade. But I slide one under anything to be superglued if I can. And POR or any solvent based glues can't touch it. Gorilla glue also comes off easily. And of course you can cut of pieces to use as a spreaded for any of the above. Heck, you could take one to work and eat yer lunch off it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nice find and good money saver. "Normal" cutting mat from Hobby Craft costs 20-30 pounds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Plains Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yes, but don't forget these are small and slippery. Not ideal for our hobby, but they definitely have their uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 For about the same price you can get proper cutting mats with measuring and square markings from The Works bookshops or modelling suppliers at the shows. Price varies but for 5 pounds you can get A2 or A3 size I think. The rumour is the dearer ones last longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
