Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great inexpensive replacement for worn out trimmer mats

This is a great, inexpensive replacement for a worn cutting mat. It's also great when you find you just need more mats - I mean, will you ever really have enough? I have a Cricut Explorer air2 and use it a lot so my mats wear out quickly. I used to try washing and regluing them but it was very painful and they weren't really sticky enough for me and spray glue is still $9-11. So I decided to try an unknown brand cutting mat and this was my second try. I really like them - I mostly do HTV and permanent vinyl and these mats are nice and tacky - maybe among the medium to heavy Cricut stick options. Which is great for me. They work well with heavier card stock, but lighter paper is very difficult to cut through without tearing - be aware. I've only been using them for a week (about 4 runs each) and they show no signs of wear yet. I'll try to remember to update this once I've finally worn them out to see if they last as long as the Cricut brand. The mesh is the same and fits perfectly in my machine with no snagging or slipping while cutting. I will be buying this brand of 12x24 mats as soon as my current set finally breaks, or maybe sooner for the reason above: will you really ever run out of mats?

Pros
  • Mats have the right grip to hold materials securely in place while you work and allow for easy material removal. The cutting mat is ideal for crafters, quilters, art students, and crafters to complete most DIY projects.
Cons
