Review on 🔪 X-ACTO 18x24 Inches Self-Healing Cutting Mat – Non-Stick Bottom, Gray by Barbara Simmons

I use this self-healing mat to cut plain paper and heavy cardstock with the X-Acto blade and so far it's working great. I use it for cutting straight edges as well as shapes. After about a week of use, cuts I made that went beyond the edge of the paper are no longer visible, although they are mostly small marks. I would have liked this mat better if the size numbers on the edges were on the outside of the cutting area rather than the inside as I like to refer to that while my paper is in place. For those interested, the actual footprint of this rug is 16" x 22" - there is a 1" border on all edges of the rug. I have read some other reviews about this product or similar products about smells and Condition read Carpet when it arrived (e.g. twisted) but I'm happy to report that my carpet was flat and I didn't notice any residual odours.
