What do you use to cut them with? I've seen several comments about cutting up old rotary mats and what to do with them, but nobody says what you use to cut with. My old Olfa mat is too tough for scissors, I don't know about using a small saw, and my DH has no ideas.

Thanks for any suggestions.

That is a good question. I would like to know the answer to that too.

Boy, when I get to that point I'm thinking I'll cut it up and make some reusable shopping bags with the mat in the bottom for durability!

great recycling!
