Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ark mat, place it on a flat, clean surface immediately upon unboxing. If the mat arrives curled from shipping, lay it flat in a warm area to allow the material to relax into its original shape.
Compatibility: Works best with standard craft knives, scalpel-style blades, and rotary cutters. Avoid using heavy-duty box cutters or serrated blades, as these can create tears that exceed the mat's self-healing capacity.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid exposure to direct, high heat sources like heat guns or irons, which can warp the layers.
- Keep the surface free of adhesive buildup; clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Rotate the mat periodically to ensure even wear across the entire surface rather than concentrating cuts in one central area.
