This may seem a little strange, but I have a cutting mat that has warped a little and considering it's age, I would warp too. It is a 17x23, so I am trying to get a 12 or 13 square mat from the corner that isn't warped.
My question is how can I salvedge a portion of this mat? I would like to make a smaller mat that I could use in small places for small squares. How do I cut it?? There must be some way. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. |
Don't know how thick your cutting board is but have you tryed tin snips?
|
Have you already flipped it over to use the other side???

the method reccomended to me was to get a box cutter and a metal straight edge and simply score it over & over til thru. hope this helps

i used my husbands circular saw
|
I use fabric shears, the heavy duty ones.
My Olfa mat warped and could not be saved anymore, so cut it in half. |
I cut one down with heavy duty kitchen shears.
|
How about setting it on a flat surface outside in the sun and let the heat soften it and then put large heavy books or a board the same size over it and let it cool. That should straighten out the warp. :-D
