Uses for an old cutting mat

Steef66 said:
I have a question, does anybody know how to cut a cutting mat in smaller pieces? What cutting tool you use for that?
I tried to cut it with a cutting knife, but everytime after the first cut I make it healed itself. I gave up after 50 times trying.

this is mainly because you are using Green mats, if you would use any other color, pink for example, you would not have any problems :D:D:D:D:D:D

it IS GREEEEEN
the different colour comes from the artificial light only
I am using greeeeeen mats - I want to be a good modeler -> the mat has to be green, so it is green

You are such a green promoter while using Grey!!! ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF ROTF :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

There are a lot of "shades of green" out there - but like I mentioned before
IT has to be Green

I am looking forward to give my two cents to sanding blocks - but this in a new topic, not to mix up the knowledge and everybody should get comprehensive information

Rubber, cork or plastic blocks? And round or square? And what color? Also important to know.

You missed aluminum. My Permagrit are Aluminum (various shapes) with a copper colored medium. I have a plastic square block that is red/orange that I use and a small yellow plastic one that I use. Plus I sometimes just use paper with no block.
