  1. I just picked up these larger sized "sticky - reusable" thinner cutting mats and they go thru my Roland GX-24 with no problem. I plan to use them for non-adhesive backed materials such as lighting gels and thin,stabilized cloth patches. More later if it works, (or not).

    Larger Cutting Mats for a Cutter

    I found that a very light spray of application fluid helped remove the pieces of paper that got stuck to the "sticky" without destroying the "stick" ( USE WITH CAUTION, as I only did this once!)

    Larger Cutting Mats for a Cutter

    It is an accessory for the Brother Cutting Machine (on line search will have a "where to buy section" for your location) the 12"X12" is $19.95 and the 12"X24" is $24.95 . The Printed Rulers on the mat can be cut off (unless U are using Brother Machine) The Rep. Says that the mats can be repaired or spliced together with good quality thin packaging tape. I got mine over the counter at a local NW store called " Quality Sewing and Vac. Shop"

  5. The Green Object in the photos is a abs drain fitting from a big box store. 47.) Screw'd to table. 62.) Turn screws to adjust tension. 55.) inch and one-half hole cut into green plastic drain fitting with rotary hole saw. 59.) Second "step" on drain fitting is exactly 3" in dia. (perfect fit for cardboard tube)

    Reverse cutting direction

    'Just ordered 2 "sticky" cutting mats from local sewing and vac. shop- they are for the ''Brother Hobby and Craft Cutter" and are used to stick fabric, paper, and vinyl to the re-usable cutting surface. They are stiff!! They may be ordered from "Brother Cutting Machine.com and come in various sizes. I plan to tape 2 together for a 24"X24" size. Will post again if this works out OK or not

    Thanks, don't look too close or you might see a bubble or 2 ( installed in Sept,- hot sun, very wet application)
  10. Beginners luck, I guess- I just measured out an X on the flange, centered the pilot bit of the hole saw on the crosshairs, and drilled slowly. 'have seen some small wrinkles in the applied tape though.

    The Client changed their mind, placed the vinyl on the inside, and spray painted a rectangle over the design. ' Not much I could say, as it was gratis work for a non-profit for community service organization.
