Nicely made, quick and convention to use magnets instead of washi tape

I say this is necessary and works best for the Foil Quil. You place it on top of your existing mat, which provides a hard surface for the quill to push into. It helps with the quality of the foiling process and prevents foiling failures.

I was having a major issue with my Cameo 5 “eating” foil even when it was securely taped down to the mat. I did use the provided magnets plus some tape and my project turned out better.

This mat was easy to use. It has magnets to hold your paper and foil in place. I like the preprinted lines on the mat. Easy to keep my projects straight.

Realmente estoy contento con esta compra!ANTES usaba el tapete normal de la Cameo 4 y los papeles y cartones se pegaban a ese tapete, también el sobrante del Foil ensuciaba el pegamento del tapete del Cameo 4 y ni hablar del uso del washi tape o masking tape que ensuciaban el sustrato que estaba foleando.AHORA con el tapete magnético todo eso NO ocurre! Es un trabajo limpio, los magnetos son potentes, el tapete es completamente metálico y de buena calidad, es súper preciso cuando coloco en una coordenada lo que deseo folear.IMPORTANTE!! Leer las instrucciones antes de usar!! Ya que tiene sus detalles:NO hay que colocar un imán en la parte superior.Los Imanes laterales deben estar una pulgada más abajo del punto dónde se inicia el foleado.Las ruedas de arrastre de la Cameo no deben pasar sobre los imanes.El tapete metálico debe entrar DERECHO, totalmente paralelo horizontalmente a la Cameo, requiere que lo asujetes con la mano o folees al centro del tapete para mantener el equilibrio por su peso.NUNCA usar el tapete para corte, solo para foleado y esbozado (uso de lápiz).Con eso, el tapete les funcionará de lujo ;)

The online descriptions all say it works with Explore Air, but the packaging says only Explore Air 2. I have the original Explore Air. However, I also have a Maker, so I was willing to sacrifice the Air to try the Foil Quill and magnetic mat out. I was careful to move the rollers out of the way and to move the magnets down so that carriage wouldn’t hit. The first one with no magnetic mat, a simple design, using washi was fine. The second test with the magnetic mat broke a small piece of black plastic off. I don’t know what that piece of plastic is for (yet)! And the Foil got really messy looking while it was drawing an intricate Anna Griffin design, but it worked perfectly! I definitely liked the solid mat better, but I would caution against it if you have an original Explore Air and you can’t “risk” the machine.

Mine has a huge S shaped indention in the middle of it. I wanted to exchange it but that was not an option only a refund. I don't want a refund because I got this at an extremely low price. It was also delayed so I am sure they realized the mistake on price and asked if I want to cancel. But since I got a damaged item I guess I got what I paid for!UPDATE: I took a bone folder and presses the dent out! Other then a slight S shape you can see but not feel it is awesome. Works great for doing heat foil glade I bought it.
