Question 1

How do you store you cutting mat?  I threw away the blue film that  was on it =(

Accepted Answer

Definitely need to keep that blue cover sheet, its entire purpose in life is to cover the cutting mat

Question 2

does this come with one or two mats?

Accepted Answer

Just one mat but it lasts for months of cutting. I adore my Silhouette Cameo!

Question 3

How do you avoid thin paper from sticking to this and tearing?

Accepted Answer

I bought 2; 1 was kept very sticky for using with vinyl, etc. The other a crafter shared with me--which worked well, but is up to your discretion. I sprayed the mat down w/ Windex, let sit 5 minutes, rinsed it, & let dry thoroughly and it makes it just mildly tacky. Works great with paper and no lint from the other techniques.

Question 4

Can I use the 12 x 24 cutting mat made for the Cameo machine, with my old Silhouette QuicKuts & What's the diff between Silhouette mat & Cameo mat?

Accepted Answer

Hi,I don't think the Cameo and the Silhouette are two different machines. I see only references to the Silhouette Cameo. The Silhouette program I have shows only a 12 x 12 mat but I believe you can cut roll vinyl with the machine. The program lets you scroll way past the mat. It goes to 35 inches. I have the fancier Studio Designer version which has side rulers. I see on Amazon there is a 12 by 24 mat available. I also have a Blackcat Cougar and it has a place to set mat size. The Silhouette mats are rather thin. My Blackcat mats are a lot thicker and more forgiving. My Silhouette now lives at our factory and my Blackcat is at my home. I haven't tried a Black cat mat in the Silhouette. I can't resist in telling you I found a way to redo the stick on the mats. I think the sticky on the Silhouette mat is waterbased so it can be cleaned off with soap and water. When it is clean, dry it off and spray a thin layer of Sprayway (name of manuf) No. 82 mist spray adhesive. Spray it outside or wear a mask. Make sure to let it dry as it can be gooey when wet. Amazon sells this spray stuff. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to keep my mats at perfect stickiness. I can easily remove buildup of the spray adhesive with paint thinner.
