Note: I have the Tim Holtz mat and I’m a lefty! So I adjust or sometimes, flip the glass mat around when I use the white grid space for mixing colors. It’s not a big deal ( we lefties are used to adjusting) but I wanted to mention it. Great video and I always enjoy listening to you!

Hi Simon. I have all those surfaces. I had my eye on the Wendy stay-tion for awhile but after watching your video I had to get it. I so agree they each are unique and I love them all!!!! Is always good to have the right tool for the job or craft in this instance.

Good info! I use my glass media mat the most. I was wondering about using a craft knife as I've seen others do, so it's good to know what to use. Thanks! :)

@kimlivengood5916 5 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if you know that 1st mat from Ranger came from mats they made to bake cookies on. So you can buy this exact same matt @ any local store in the kitchen dept. For much less. They come rolled. Just a little info. You probably knew that. TY for testing these surfaces. It was very helpful. TYFS

Thx for clarifying the scratching problem with the TH mat. That is the main reason I did not purchase it, now we know...

@CouzCat 5 жыл бұрын

I have a large magnetic self-healing mat made by WeRMemoryKeepers. Like the glass mat, it too has an alignment grid & metal rulers. In terms of function, it's a hybrid of the glass mat & Wendy's metal mat. When I need it, I use the Ken Oliver Craft mat. It has the same basic properties of the Ranger mat with a few additions. It's white which is great for true colour rendering, it does not slip around & you can scrunch it up into a ball without it cracking & it will lay completely flat once again. There's a similar mat made by another brand. I believe it's from Tonic.

@deborahanne9793 5 жыл бұрын

CouzCat Does the Ken Oliver craft mat have an odour to it? Thank you.

@PapercraftsbyCindyellen 5 жыл бұрын

I have a glass mat, and I just ordered the Wendy Stay-tion. Great comparison video. I also have a self-healing mat i film on, so no glare. It would make sense it's surgical steel that would scratch the glass.

Great video Simon as usual! I love the Wendy Vecci STAY-tion for stenciling but I also have a glass mat which I use to color my images. On an unrelated note I'm not sure if you have done a video on inks. I'm confused on what amalgam ink is, can you explain that or direct me to a past video you have done??? TIA❤

Amalgam ink is a Gina K ink. Check out her stamp TV channel for more info. She is wonderful. :)

Quick question about the heat tool you used, is that good to use for heat embossing as well?

@simon.hurley 5 жыл бұрын

I like this one because the heat is less directed, quiet, and doesn’t move inks around. But because the heat is less directed, it’s not great at embossing. :)

@tiffanyb4646 5 жыл бұрын

Inklipse ok thanks. Can you tell me a good recommendation for a heat tool for embossing? Please ❤️

I was very dissappointed in the wendy vechi art station because my white lines came off when I used water to clean off ink ... very badly ..I have contacted Ranger but have not heard back yet, I was surprized because they sell good products and ink is used with stencils....what do u think???

@simon.hurley 5 жыл бұрын

If it’s a water based ink the lines shouldn’t come off... maybe the ink had a chemical that took the lines off. Ranger will get back to your email soon! :)
