12x12 cutting mats are very hard to find and buy. Anyone know where to buyone? How can you keep the mat sticky?

Have you tried cleaning off your old mat with an alcohol free baby wipe? Also if you do a search, you will find that there are an assortment of different glues that people use to to make their mats sticky again.

I just recently bought some new mats (2 pack) on ebay for $14.25 with free shipping. And I received them in just 4 days. My Micheal's only carries the 12 x 24 and 6 x 12 mats. I also have two Walmarts like five minutes from my house and they are always out of them. I bought some glue last week and when my current mat no longer sticky I plan to try the glue method of making your mat sticky again. I have gotten some extra life from my current mat by washing it in soapy water and letting it dry. I was totally amazed how sticky my mat got again after soaking it in warm soapy water for a few seconds..

Walmart sells the 12x24 for about $13 for 2 mats. If out of stock,order online with free ship to store.
You can cut a 12x24 in half. This way you have 2-12x12 and 1- 12x24. Of course if you don't need the
12x24, you can have 4- 12x12 mats.

I bought my mats on eBay .... $11.99 for 2 with free shipping.
Also, thought I'd share this YouTube video about a product called Crafter's Companion Stick Away Spray.......it's hard to find in stock but works wonders. They also have a Crafter's Companion repositional adhesive spray that you can use to re-sticky the mats.

Hope this helps!

i have excellent luck washing my mats in soapy water and just taping off the edges and then giving it a good spray with repositionable adhesive. I still have my original 2 mats since I got the cricut a year ago.
