Review on Replace And Upgrade With DOOHALO Cutting Mat For Cricut Joy Machine - 3 Pack Adhesive Mats In Vibrant Colors (Total 6 Mats), Variety Grip 4.5"X12 by Jason Vigen

If you're like me and go through a lot of Cricut mats, you know how expensive buying brand name mats are. I seriously got tired of paying upwards of $10 each for the 4x12 replacement mats so I thought, why not try to find something cheapers - and here we are.I admit, I was very skeptical at first but I thought that for this price, I really wouldn't be losing much. All three mats came well packaged, intact, and clean. They measured out correctly but at first the adhesive seemed a little weak for standard grip. My first paper held great. I was pleased. Second paper detached almost immediately and the project was ruined. Went and attached another piece but this time I flattened it down well with the scrapper tool and it held great. Same for the third and fourth. I have found that after about 10 projects I will have to either tape projects down at the corners or replace these mats - but when I'm paying $11 for 3 mats, I don't thing that is unreasonable.I would recommend these mats if you don't mind taping corners after several projects - or replacing them regularly. I will be ordering again.
