I know Michale's has them, you could also check your local Hobby Shop. Did you by any chance check Model Expo. There is a link to them on the home page of this forum.

try googling for  cutting mat, (sefl healing), and you'll end up with tons of them.

They are very often sold by shops in the 'paper and cardboard trade'

Joann's Fabric also has them.

Model Train shops are a good source for all kinds of things. That's where I bought mine.

Staples has them....any office supply store basically.

Very useful as they self healing when cut, had mine for a number of years now just watch you dont wipe of the white grid with a solvent - paint thinners.

Thanks everyone! I have the micromark catalog. Didn't see it there. I guess I need to start looking further before asking such questions here

on the other hand, let the searching be done by others is actually a very time-efficient way of searching

Bill,

 

   There is nothing wrong with asking. People here will help if they can. Sometime doing a search doesn't always work out the way you want, so you ask.

Bill,

 

Micromark has them online as "cutting pads".   Here's links to the three I found:

Hi,

 

I'd recommend checking craft stores, places that sell sewing supplies/dressmaking/material (whatever those places are called) and especially larger discount shops.  And/or do a Google search for "cutting mat" to buy online.

 

I found exactly the same products as hobby shops sell - from A5 up to A1 size - much cheaper than hobby stores (at least in Australia).  I managed to get an A1 mat for around $30 a year or so ago, and smaller ones are regularly $10 or less.  Seemed exactly the same material and quality (I certainly don't use the lines to measure or line parts up accurately).

 

Regards,
Darren

Ahoy Bill

 

Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry these. They also both have a coupon for 40% off one item (Google it). Makes for a sweet deal. You just have to use restraint and buy only one thing. It ain't easy

Bill, Tower Hobbies carries various sizes of the green graph mats, I think their 9x12 is only 6 bucks or so, I think they are the hobbico line
