| Cricut Mat - re-sticking | Wednesday, 18 August 2010 |
I've had a great couple of days, I bought 2 new cricut mats, then decided to try to restick my old one,(bought the new ones just in case I messed up) I already have some sticky stuff remover, I sprayed that on..... all the yukky stuff came right off, I re-did it a couple of times and it was sparkly clean. washed off the residue..
then... I sprayed it with 3M repositionalble spray adhesive. (It's what I already had) Left it to dry overnight.... yes...still sticky in the morning...VERY
I patted it (conditioned it, as is the right term) a lot, almost got my hand stuck.... I had visions of me walking to the surgery with a mat stuck to my hand!!! so I kept patting it. it got better.
Tried it out. perfect!!!!! thin paper got a bit stuck, but after a while I just sort of patted it gently on the mat rather than smooth it out. but it's awesome now!!
So.... I have2 new mats - unused. and am so proud of myself for havng made a sucess of it
