ok, but not great
This mat does not quite live up to the hype. My major reason for purchasing was to hold my cards in place while I worked on them, but they still slide around on it -- not as much as on my regular work surface, but they still move. Other things, such as ink pads & tools really do stay in place on it, which is good, but I really wanted my card to stay put on it! It's great for blending paints, inks, etc. and wipes off easily with a spritz of water & a soft rag. It's also easy to roll up to store, but needs a rubber band or something to keep it rolled up. It's a quick & easy work surface to place on anything you need to protect. I have not yet used it with my embossing gun or hot glue gun, but it's supposed to withstand high temps, so that will definitely be a plus.
