Posted: 11/16/2012 1:29:53 PM I keep ruining my pictures by laying them on my self healing mat to put adhesive on the back. Can I save the mat or do I need to get a new one?

Posted: 11/16/2012 2:00:29 PM How are the pictures getting ruined? Have you cleaned the mat? Can you put the picture on another surface (piece of paper or table) when you apply adhesive?

Posted: 11/16/2012 2:30:49 PM Put a piece of paper between the pic and the mat and don't ever lie them face down on your mat. Or, get a small one just for your pics and keep it on top of the bigger one.

Posted: 11/16/2012 3:06:11 PM What is happening to your photos? I have two of the BG self healing mats and have never had a problem....they right in the middle of my general work area so I apply taperunner on them all the time! Wondering if I am not paying attention to my photos after the fact now!
