Review on Alvin HM1218 Blue Self Healing Hobby by Angela Rodriguez

I'm not sure if they have changed anything on this rug but I ordered the 12x18 version and there wasn't much smell. I almost got my money back after reading the reviews as my wife is currently pregnant and the odors in the house are very delicate at the moment. I figured I'd leave it in the garage for a week at worst, but was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a strong odor when I opened it! It definitely smelled but to me it was only visible by holding my nose to it and even then it smelled like a new product and not as described in previous reviews.
