Review: Buy the mats. Check out my advice on using the mats and why you should not try to make your own. - These are replacement mats. I would like to pass along a couple items of advice regarding the mats. First of all, keep 2 on hand. Yes they are super tacky at first. Some say to stick it to something linty and that will decrease the stickyness. This does work but it also cuts the lifespan short. I read somewhere that someone had better luck removing paper from the mat by turning the mat/paper upsidedown and pulling the mat away from the paper rather than the common way of pulling the paper away from the mat. This helps immensely. Take it slow. This technique also keeps the paper from curling after it has been removed. If you are using standard weight paper, you may not be able to pull it off a new mat without it tearing. I recommend using an older mat for standard paper or a mat that you have decreased the tackyness with lint. Again, having 2 on hand is a great idea. When mats begin to get too much build up of lint and paper, lightly wash them with plain or soapy water and let them air dry. Another item of advice: To anyone who thinks about making your own to save $--just pony up and buy the mats from desertcart. I am always up for making something rather than buying it, but in this case I will never do it again. I guess some people have had luck making their own but I think it is a waste of time. I read up on how people have gotten the best results. I puchased cutting mats from the dollar store. Cheap. Good. They were 11" by 15", so I cut it to 12" by 11". I wanted to at least keep the width at 12" because lots of things that you cut are made in 12" width, like paper and vinyl.. Okay, not too bad so far. Then you have to buy painters tape. You don't need much but you still have to buy a whole roll and it's not too cheap. Then you have to buy repositionable spray glue. Also not cheap. You still have to buy the whole can. Then there is the matter of marking the mat. I tried with a marker and ruler--time consuming. Also tried printing out graph paper and gluing it to the back of the mat, but you either have to piece the graph paper together or you have to go to a print and copy place to get the same dimensions. Oh, also I forgot to mention that the repositionable glue. It doesn't work well at all. I tried 2 different brands-one sputtered out and wouldn't spray anymore even though it was mostly full-and, yes, I do turn it upside down to clear the nozzle after each use. Neither one of them had lasting tackyness. I had to keep respraying, which meant also retaping. All of this attempt at making my own mats resulted in subpar mats that were too small to fit a full sheet of 12"x12" scrapbook paper and the amount of $ I wasted didn't compare to the amount of time I wasted. Time that I could have spent working on cutting projects instead.
Review: Only mat with 1/4in marks - Much more expensive than other cutting mats, but I ended up with this one (exact one I was trying to replace) because it's the ONLY one I can find with 1/4in. marks! I've only bought ONE replacement in the multiple years I've been using my Silhouette machine (which I messed up myself trying to clean it) so the I guess the price is worth it. Great quality. Will likely continue to just buy these when I need a new one again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you store you cutting mat?  I threw away the blue film that  was on it =(**
A: Definitely need to keep that blue cover sheet, its entire purpose in life is to cover the cutting mat

**Q: does this come with one or two mats?**
A: Just one mat but it lasts for months of cutting. I adore my Silhouette Cameo!

**Q: How do you avoid thin paper from sticking to this and tearing?**
A: I bought 2; 1 was kept very sticky for using with vinyl, etc. The other a crafter shared with me--which worked well, but is up to your discretion. I sprayed the mat down w/ Windex, let sit 5 minutes, rinsed it, & let dry thoroughly and it makes it just mildly tacky. Works great with paper and no lint from the other techniques.

**Q: Can I use the 12 x 24 cutting mat made for the Cameo machine, with my old Silhouette QuicKuts & What's the diff between Silhouette mat & Cameo mat?**
A: Hi,I don't think the Cameo and the Silhouette are two different machines. I see only references to the Silhouette Cameo. The Silhouette program I have shows only a 12 x 12 mat but I believe you can cut roll vinyl with the machine. The program lets you scroll way past the mat. It goes to 35 inches. I have the fancier Studio Designer version which has side rulers. I see on Amazon there is a 12 by 24 mat available. I also have a Blackcat Cougar and it has a place to set mat size. The Silhouette mats are rather thin. My Blackcat mats are a lot thicker and more forgiving. My Silhouette now lives at our factory and my Blackcat is at my home. I haven't tried a Black cat mat in the Silhouette. I can't resist in telling you I found a way to redo the stick on the mats. I think the sticky on the Silhouette mat is waterbased so it can be cleaned off with soap and water. When it is clean, dry it off and spray a thin layer of Sprayway (name of manuf) No. 82 mist spray adhesive. Spray it outside or wear a mask. Make sure to let it dry as it can be gooey when wet. Amazon sells this spray stuff. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to keep my mats at perfect stickiness. I can easily remove buildup of the spray adhesive with paint thinner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product
*by J***N on May 6, 2023*

I have only been using my Silhouette machine for less than 2 years. My husband bought it for me as a birthday present. In the box it sat for several months until I had time to set it up and watch tutorials on how to use it. I now use it to make many different things, especially stickers & such to make signs. I bought a cheap off label cutting mat & it caused me nothing but problems. EVERYTHING stuck to it. Yeah, I want my material to stick to it when it's in the machine but I want it to release when I'm done. You have no idea how long it took me to get the paper backing off the cutting mats. It wasn't just the strong hold mat either. I had different grades of tack and even the light tack mat had to be scraped to get the paper off. Lesson learned. I will only buy Silhouette products for my Silhouette machine.
