Stupid question here;

In some of the pictures people post of the WIP, there is a green matt on there work surface, it seems to be a cutting matt of some kind.

What is the name of this matt and where can I get it online?

Thank you.

They are called self-healing cutting mats.

Try an online craft store or some online hobby store

Thank you!

I'll swing by the art supply place this week, if not I found a cheap supplier online for them. With the exchnage rate here in Canada, it is cheaper to order online right now.

I got mine from MicroMart MicroMart Link. Search for "cutting mats" on the site, and you'll get to the product.

Just to let everyone know, I stopped by Staples on Saturday and picked up a mat. They had a good supply and a good selection of them as well.

Thank you to everyone.
