Rockler Silicone Project Mat

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has introduced the Silicone Project Mat, a flexible, textured work surface for projects that offers quick and easy cleanup and protects the underlying area from potential damage.

The Silicone Project Mat sheds dried glue simply by cracking it and peeling it off, while wet glue is easily rinsed away, much like Rockler's award-winning silicone glue tools. The silicone is also heat-resistant, providing a protective barrier for hot glue guns. The mat lends protection to workbenches, countertops, dining room tables and more – wherever users decide to create their projects.

"The Silicone Project Mat provides an instant, protective, easy-to-clean work base," says Steve Krohmer, Rockler's vice president of merchandising and proprietary. "After finishing a project, all you need to do is crack any dried glue off, roll it up, and tuck it away until the next time you need it."

The Silicone Project Mat measures 15'' x 30'' overall and is 1/8'' thick. The silicone material has no memory, so even if it has been rolled up for a long period of time, it will instantly roll out flat for use. One side of the mat is ribbed to help keep projects in place as well as trapping debris that may otherwise mar or stick to the project being assembled.

The Silicone Project Mat (56209) is priced at $29.99. For store locations or a free catalog, visit www.rockler.com or call 1-877-ROCKLER.
