Why do the Olfa cutting mats smell so bad?
I've recently purchases two at different JoAnn stores at separate times and had to return both due to odor. Had them in my living room and they stunk up the entire downstairs. Both were the 24x36 size. I have the smaller 12x18 and it's fine.
I need a new one because a few years back I purged a few trunkloads of my sewing supplies and they went as well (don't ask, lol)
Have you had this experience? Should I go with Fiskars instead? I don't want to "wait it out" because I tried that and almost got sick in the process. If I buy a mat I want to use a mat.
