      @@Voyajer. that's the only reason for the question, most modelling glues melt plastics together and are interesting what they can do to unsuspecting surfaces. Am certainly hopeful that it has a negligent if any effect on the silicone surface. There are a few "hotter" glues than the Tamiya XT, and would be willing to do further testing on my own purchased mat. There's just no reason to go too far if it's already a known problem. Looks like typical cyanoacrylate glues would be fine, but they are a very different chemistry. So, thought I'd ask 👍😁

    You know, it might sound odd, but this looks like a damn fine surface for those who are into tabletop wargaming like warhammer 40k as a project mat for building and painting models. All the organization and even points to hold things like brushes as well as a surface that might even fair well against model cement looks like it'd be quite the nicely functional setup. I assume a question others have asked already but just in case, are any other colors of the mat planned? I'd assume a good color option would be clean white that would provide a great contrast background for small parts and the like for people who tinker or fix things like phones and other small devices. Blue is pretty good but of course white in that use case would be hard to beat.

I'm not sure if they are using a luxury car to deliver each order point to point, but $20 shipping is absolutely outrageous. I can't think of anytime in my life I've tried to order something and shipping was an additional %40 price increase, and I have made many orders of special edition books from the UK, mainly France. It's usually the same price plus $8 for tracked shipping.

    Whelp picked one up as well as finally snagging a mod mat since my job has changed and I no longer have easy access to and ESD safe surface.
    For those wondering both of these products are not only competitive to professional products but in many cases are better than them!

    I was just looking into buying one of these. This is larger than the ones I was looking at; and that's great. They're often ~$20 individually and I was looking at getting 2 of them. Thanks for providing such a product to the community.

    Awesome timing on this, I was looking at these recently for general small project work (I don’t solder much). VERY hype to get this in.

    I have a small mat because I usually don’t have much space to work. But if I ever get a bigger workbench setup I’m definitely picking one of these up.

    I love that you mentioned building Gundam models as one of its uses.

    So I have a random cheapo smaller silicon work-mat and this absolutely addresses all of my gripes I've had so far.

    Might consider getting this one as someone who does repairs all the time

    Damn this mat looks super nice, I've been hunting around for a silicone mat since I got into RC and learned how to solder. Looks like I found exactly what I was hoping for.

    Not often that I'm tempted by tech RUclipsr merch. This is one of the rare instances.

    Dude this looks fantastic! Really appreciate your team's attention to detail on making unique and well designed merch, instead of just slapping a logo on a generic item
