So... I've been ordering Silhouette mats on Amazon... one is ~$10 ... and they hold up ok but eventually you have to just give in and clean off the glue surface and then there's a low tack spray you can add...
But... I recently found these mats... gave them a try.. the regular strength adhesive works fairly well... I was doing a lot of diecutting for all those decorations, etc. so I've used all the sticky on one mat... but these are 3 in a package ... they were $8.63 when I ordered them... they're $11.99 right now. But that's for 3 mats. So... thought I'd share! I may try some with the strong adhesive next time I order.. just to see if it lasts longer.

Re: Silhouette cutting mats
Good to know. I’ll check it out. I buy my KNK mats directly from KNK people. Mine are 24X12 in size and the adhesive is usually too strong. I take a terry bath towel and de-tack them. Newly adhesived mats can really cause havoc when peeling off a cut. Particularly fine ones. I’ve destroyed a few cuts that way.

That's how I was feeling about the Silhouette mats, too.... too sticky to start out. I should have paid attention to how many times I used this other mat before it started losing its sticky... but... I don't mind if it loses its sticky if I only paid a few dollars for it... so I'll pay more attention on this next one.. maybe.. LOL

I just keep cutting until something starts moving and I realize it’s not sticky anymore!
I recently pulled out an unused mat and wow is it nice to work on. I only detacked it a little and it’s perfect. Nice to work on one that isn’t warped either.
