pete Report post Posted September 10, 2007 If you folks have DOLLAR GENERAL stores near you(or something comparable) check out the poly plastic kitchen cutting mats. The are just cheap chinese made pieces of plastic but PERFECT for gluing your piece to while tooling. They are 15"x12", come 2 to a pack and cut cleanly with a rotary or head knife. Scissors leave and uneven edge. I had been using tape,x-ray film and cardboard in the past but this is by far the best and cheapest. It is the perfect thickness for cutting out patterns for tapered belt tips, wallets, etc and the rubber cement comes off cleanly so you can re-use it forever. Best of all they are $1.00 for two. pea-aire' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
