cutting mats
12x12 cutting mats are very hard to find and buy. Anyone know where to buyone? How can you keep the mat sticky?
Re: cutting mats
Have you tried cleaning off your old mat with an alcohol free baby wipe? Also if you do a search, you will find that there are an assortment of different glues that people use to to make their mats sticky again.

Re: cutting mats
I just recently bought some new mats (2 pack) on ebay for $14.25 with free shipping. And I received them in just 4 days. My Micheal's only carries the 12 x 24 and 6 x 12 mats. I also have two Walmarts like five minutes from my house and they are always out of them. I bought some glue last week and when my current mat no longer sticky I plan to try the glue method of making your mat sticky again. I have gotten some extra life from my current mat by washing it in soapy water and letting it dry. I was totally amazed how sticky my mat got again after soaking it in warm soapy water for a few seconds..

Re: cutting mats
Walmart sells the 12x24 for about $13 for 2 mats. If out of stock,order online with free ship to store.
You can cut a 12x24 in half. This way you have 2-12x12 and 1- 12x24. Of course if you don't need the
12x24, you can have 4- 12x12 mats.

Re: cutting mats
I bought my mats on eBay .... $11.99 for 2 with free shipping.
Also, thought I'd share this YouTube video about a product called Crafter's Companion Stick Away Spray.......it's hard to find in stock but works wonders. They also have a Crafter's Companion repositional adhesive spray that you can use to re-sticky the mats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD0VPxNR9J0
Hope this helps!

Re: cutting mats
i have excellent luck washing my mats in soapy water and just taping off the edges and then giving it a good spray with repositionable adhesive. I still have my original 2 mats since I got the cricut a year ago.

Wow! This price makes me want to buy mats but , I have two unopened packages. Maybe I should get some for my niece - her b-day is coming up . . . .Deloris wrote:Joann's has the 12 X 12 size on sale. Comes in a package of 2 mats and it's $7.79 a package so approx $3.90 for each mat.
