Product Information

Full details

The Thrink Professional Double-Sided Cutting Mat (70041b - TH) is designed for serious crafters, quilters, and DIY enthusiasts who demand precision and durability in their workspace. Featuring a robust 3-ply construction and an A2 surface area, this mat provides a high-quality, self-healing surface that extends the life of your blades while protecting your furniture from damage; however, users should be mindful that while the self-healing technology is impressive, it is designed for standard craft knives and rotary cutters rather than heavy-duty industrial blades.

FAQs

Can I use this mat with a heavy-duty box cutter?

This mat is designed for precision craft knives and rotary cutters. Heavy-duty utility blades may cut too deeply and damage the internal core layer.

Is the mat heat resistant?

It is designed for standard room temperatures. Avoid placing hot items like irons or heat guns directly on the surface, as this may warp the material.

Does it come in other sizes?

Currently, this model (70041b - TH) is specifically offered in the A2 (600mm x 450mm) size.

How do I store the mat?

The mat should be stored lying flat on a hard, level surface to maintain its structural integrity.

Are the gridlines on both sides?

Yes, the mat features gridlines on both sides to provide maximum utility and longevity.

Can I use rotary cutters on this?

Yes, this mat is fully compatible with both rotary cutters and straight-edge craft knives.

Troubleshooting

Mat surface is showing deep, permanent scars

Ensure that the blades being used are not dull; dull blades tend to tear the surface rather than cut it, preventing the self-healing material from closing properly.

Gridlines are hard to see

Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove accumulated paper or fabric dust which can settle into the fine cuts and obscure the markings.

Mat feels like it is sliding on the table

Clean the underside of the mat and your tabletop with a damp cloth to remove dust; the non-slip property relies on a clean contact surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Thrink cutting mat, place it on a flat, clean, and rigid surface before use. Avoid exposing the mat to direct, prolonged sunlight or high heat sources, as extreme temperatures can affect the self-healing properties of the material. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; avoid using harsh solvents or alcohol, as these may degrade the surface coating. When not in use, store the mat flat. Avoid folding or rolling the mat, as doing so may create permanent creases that interfere with the precision of your cuts. If you notice minor debris in the cuts, a light brushing with a soft-bristle brush can help keep the grid visible and the surface smooth.
