I ordered this Make Art STAY-tion back in June, but I just started using it this month (August). And wow! I love it! I am a card maker and the magnets hold my card down so securely when I am trying to align something or add a layer.
I wouldn't have waited so long to use it if I knew it worked this well. I haven't used it to stencil anything yet, but that is next on my list.
I have been waiting for something like this to become available. It's fantastic and I use it either on my Tim Holtz Glass Mat or on my knee in front of the TV at night. It's a good weight and the magnets and ruler are good and strong. In my opinion this Make Art - Stay-tion is a must have in the craft room.
I seriously love this little board. There is nothing I would change or add. One side gridded, one side plain. The flexible magnetic ruler is very flat, so it doesn’t get in the way when I’m stamping. Magnets are strong but move freely. The whole board is lightweight; mostly I use it on my desk but I can also use it at an angle on my lap to color when I’m watching tv. Every crafter needs one!
I was so happy with this product until the grid lines started to disappear. I too bought it to line up cards along those lines and without those it is pretty much just a plate. I wish I knew that Ranger recommended the use of their non stick mat over it, they did not do enough testing. This was my first Wendy Vicchi purchase and I won’t repeat it. Oh yes, the magnets are super, big and strong.
I LOVE this more than I thought I would. Looks great on my desk, and the magnets are much stronger than I thought. I've done a Craft Haul on my YT channel demonstrating this @weekendcraftaholic if you want to see for yourself. The paper really doesn't move even when putting pressure on blending with stencils. I found it did move on my desk though, but I've added some non-slip material at the back and now its perfect. Definitely recommend if you always feel like you need an extra pair of hands
Great product the works as expected. Love the magnets and magnetic ruler. Perfect accessories. If you haven't, watch Wendy's video fro CHA. She explains her brilliant thinking on the development.
I rated only 4 stars because the surface was scratched very early on and I can't figure out how it happened. That's, my only caution, surface is delicate. Handle with care.
I am very pleased with the Make Art Stay-toon. I have been using it now for several days with stencils. The magnets hold the stencils down solidly and they do not move at all. The magnets are as described, easy to separate, stack nicely, and hold yiur item stightly to the surface. The Stay-tigon surface cleans easily and is ready to go again. Very pleased.
I have debated on buying this for quite a while and I'm glad I finally took the plunge. It is lightweight and easy to use. I was surprised when the magnets didn't attract to each other and that is amazing.
This is going to go to my best buddy for Christmas. I saw this and thought it would be great with her Tim Holtz Glass mat. I’m so excited!!

How easy does the mat clean up after spray stains, paint and archival ink?

We suggest you use our Non-Stick Craft Sheet (NSC20677) on the surface when using fluid type mediums as well as Archival Inks.

Would this product be safe to use for a person with a pacemaker

We've never had this question before! We would suggest you check with your Healthcare Professional for guidance as I am sure each person has individual conditions that may be applicable. The Stay-tion does have four 1" magnets and a 12" long, flexible magnetic ruler. Thank you!

Am considering buying this product but, if the lines rub off l don�t think I want to make an investment. Does anyone know if Ranger has addressed and fixed this problem?

Yes, Ranger recognized there was an issue with the grid lines rubbing off and has rectified the issue with the manufacturer; that being said there could be older versions out there. Please feel free to email [email protected] with a photo, receipt copy (or date/place of purchase) if you ever encounter an issue with the grid lines rubbing off. Please also NOTE: Solvent-based and other harsh and/or rough cleaners will remove the gridlines and should never be used on the MAKE ART Stay-tion surface. Recommended cleaning is with mild soap, water and a soft cloth.

Is the mat heat resistant so I can use it with the freestyle foil pens?
By:

No, this product is metal so it will heat up and it is recommended to use a non-stick heat-safe mat for use even with heat embossing tools. For the freestyle pens you can use the Foil Quill Magnetic Mat for this. Hope this information helps!

Is it thin or light enough to slip between pages of an art journal, e.g. for stenciling on bound pages? Or would it be too thick/clunky for this purpose? (I don't work on cards or loose sheets very often.)

Hello! It depends on the binding of the journal. Since we have a few journals in the Ranger product line that is our point of reference. I just tried it out with both the large and small Dylusions journals as well as the Dina Wakley MEDIA Journals and it seems to fit quite nicely. Please note the Make Art Stay-tion is 12" x 12" so depending on the size of journal, it's probably going to hang over the sides a bit.

Is it sturdy enough to use on your lap without a table underneath, like while sitting on a couch or in bed?
By:

Yes, if you hold it still it is a nice weight of metal, it isn't flimsy and doesn't bend or buckle.

Regarding the grid lines, has anyone tried applying clear contact paper to the grid side to keep the grid lines from rubbing off? Has anything else been tried to address this issue, such as going over the lines with a paint pen?
We wouldn't recommend putting contact paper on the board as it would likely remove the grid lines if you ever have to replace the contact paper. We'd suggest contacting the manufacturer directly to get their thoughts: https://rangerink.com/pages/get-in-touch-with-us

I did put clear contact paper on mine, as the lines were starting to rub off, even with careful use. I don't intend to remove it, but if I did I'm sure it would finish the job of removing the lines. I don't intend to use it for heat embossing either so I'm fine with it. The contact paper has saved all the lines that weren't damaged, and if I'd not put it on, they'd be gone! It is easy to wipe clean with the contact paper film on, so it works well for what I use it for.
