Product Information

Full details

This Draper Cutting Mat is designed for hobbyists, artists, and model makers seeking a reliable surface for precise cutting without damaging their workspace. Its key benefit is the self-healing, non-slip surface that protects blades and surfaces alike, while a helpful alignment grid ensures accuracy. A potential caveat is its smaller size, which may not suit larger projects.

FAQs

What makes the surface 'self-healing'?

The mat is made of a multi-layer material that can close up after being cut. Tiny cuts are absorbed back into the material, maintaining a usable surface for longer.

Can I use this mat with a rotary cutter?

Yes, the Draper cutting mat is suitable for use with rotary cutters, craft knives, and other sharp cutting tools.

How should I store the cutting mat?

Store the mat flat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its integrity and prevent warping.

What are the exact dimensions of the mat?

The mat measures approximately 45.10cm x 29.90cm (or 300 x 450mm).

Is the grid marked on both sides?

The product description does not specify if the grid is on both sides. Typically, grids are printed on one side of the mat.

What is the thickness of the mat?

The cutting mat has a thickness of 3mm.

Troubleshooting

Mat slides during cutting

Ensure the surface underneath the mat is clean and dry. The non-slip backing may be less effective on very dusty or wet surfaces.

Cutting marks are very deep or not healing

Use a sharp blade. A dull blade can cause deeper, less manageable cuts. For minor marks, ensure the mat is not exposed to excessive heat or sunlight, which can affect its self-healing properties.

Surface feels sticky

This can sometimes happen with self-healing mats. Try cleaning the surface with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly.
