They are usually called pads for cell phones for cars, maybe with non-slip or sticky in the name.

I cannot remember exactly what it was called when my wife bought it. Be aware that they are molded with flat 'fingers' sticking up.

I may want to try one on my engraver. When I get the time I will research it more and post if I find anything.

If anyone is going to use these in a laser, hope you folks will check to see what this product is made of before you go lasing on it and possibly ruining your machine.

Yes, but accidents happen...still a good thing to know, especially if it's PVC.

This MIGHT be static cling vinyl material. I dont think it has the sponge hole characteristics needed to "hold" material in place. The sticky pad is somewhat thicker, and has zero transparency. The shades looked like they diffused the light, but let it pass through. Let me know if I'm wrong, so I can order some too!

I've been using the "sticky pads" for 3 months now. They are avaliable at our local autozone automotive store. I found they do move a bit when doing small 1 x 3 plates. (diamond drag) But I use them on large plates and they work great! And they are just a bit cheaper than the multimat.

Be careful with it when you find it. Square tuits are easy to find but round ones are extremely rare these days.

Speaking of... Has anyone succombed and cut out a disk of wood or acrylic and etched TUIT on it yet? Old joke, but I was still thinking about doing it, maybe using wood and putting my logo (that I haven't come up with yet) and/or name (or website) on the other side. Be a good freebee to give out.

I remember as a kid (many moons ago) that my dad had one of those. I don't remember what logo it had on the reverse, but it DID have something along with "TUIT".

I've thought about doing those, but don't know yet whether we'll DUIT.

Cody, that is the whole idea! You'll DUIT when you get a round TUIT!

And if he does not get a round tuit we will not duit.

Bruce - One thought for using your sticky mat on the rotary. We do small plates on ours all the time - but as added insurance we put a small cut piece of plastic around the tag to be engraved as we diamond drag. We push the plastic tags right up against the engraved tag - you get more surface area this way & adds stability to the tag being engraved. Joe
