Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply unroll the mat on a flat, clean surface; if it retains a slight curl from packaging, lay it flat with a few heavy objects on the corners for an hour. The mat is compatible with almost all standard hobby-grade acrylics, oil washes, and modeling glues. Care is simple: wipe down with a damp cloth after sessions. For stubborn, stuck-on residue, use a soft-bristled brush or a light rubbing motion with your finger to dislodge dried paint. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can degrade the silicone finish over time.
