This is exactly what I was looking for. Everything is just what I needed, from the sheerness to size thickness. It should last me a long time as it is sturdy as well as light.

i will be ordering more! i just love this mat. i have had others that do not stand up to the abuse i give them - this one is wonderful. now i just need a bigger size...… and one for my other table so i don't have to pick it up and move it. this would also be great to protect surfaces when kids do crafts, (i have a few nicks in my counters and tables from that - if only i had this 15 yrs ago!)

Excellent cutting mat. Perfect size for small scale modeling structures. Cutting balsa and ass woods and plastics.I have the traditional green mats, but I like the clear color for seeing small intricate parts. Highly recommend.
