- A viewer asked me about the green mat I use in my videos. I am far from the only one. A lot of makers and DIY hobbyists use these mats because they are special.
These are self-healing cutting mats. You can use them to safely cut stuff on them, and the cuts you make will close on their own (unless you're pushing with too much force or using a very large blade).
My cutting mat is made by OLFA (not a sponsor) and is made in Japan.

One downside to these cutting mats is that they do not like heat. They will warp if they get hot, and the tip of a soldering iron will instantly melt the surface.

To say ot doesn’t like heat is an understatement mine has just been sat in my workspace in English summer heat and it has warped drastically
I was gifted one also called a "rotary mat"
For electronics I reccomend an anti static mat too
I never got one of those, despite seeing them a lot over the years. I always use too much force, so I'd just ruin the mat. Now I just occasionally ruin the exacto knife blade tip.
Awesome !
Cool
Cutting mat it protects your work surface. I use one for vinyl, for electronics I have a silicone mat.
the green mat is like a whole video clickbait, im gonna watch it even if the video has 0 electronics projects just in the hope it might
I use mine as a mousepad.
The red mat DOES look good on camera! 😶😅
he is trying not to make ppl think he is pro USSR
A4 size in enough?! i want to use it for plastic model making
What cutter are you using?
It is an OLFA cutter too. I got it together with the mat.

Self-healing is a snake oil claim. Those mats do not heal cuts. They have just enough flexibility so that the edges of the cut do not permanently deform, so it appears as if the cuts aren't there. Slightly bend the cutting mat and the cuts along the bend will show.
so @leftymaker, you've been lied to and you repeat the lie.
