Mike ... after I got my engraver, I bought the Fat Mat and really like it. Like others, on small plates there needs to be another plate butted up against it to prevent it from moving or engrave a larger plate then cute to size after engraving. I have had it for close to 4 years now.
The only 'downside' to it at all is if you were to want to use the T Table slots, you would have to remove the 'backer plate' which is a piece of
1/8" acrylic which is adhered to the table.
I know this is part is not what you asked for but definately get the leveling kit for the engraver and 'level' the table or you will never get a an even depth of engraving without using the floating nose cone. Alternatively you could get some pieces of Coran to adhere to the bed and then level that.

John,
I have had mine for about that same time and it is double sided, so it grips to the t-slot table all by itself............ :S
The "other" brand that I had was not double sided and would not hold as good or last nearly as long.

John said "...I don't think you want to "rub" on it, it will last MUCH longer."
and Joe said ".....As for clean up I do wash mine once in a while but for a quick cheap cleanup with out removing it I use a lint roller."
and then Uncle Steve said "...And we all know how important bonding is... especially when wet!!" (devil)
What in the world (of engraving) are you folks talking about?
I won't even address the "in and out" comment that Jeanette referenced.
Holy moly!!! I am just beet red!!!

You had to be there!
Then again, maybe it's a good thing you weren't.

Ed,
It is hard to explain unless you have one. I use multi mat to hold down 1.5" aluminum disks when burnishing. After prolonged usage paint coating from disks gets all over mat and it needs to be cleaned. I run tap water on it to get rid of dirt, and dry it with hair drier, back in production.
One drawback with multi mat is that it leaves oily residue on table top and if plates need tape on them for attaching the tape should be applied before placing them on mat.
