am i able to cut the sheet up?? im asking because i ship things out in the heat and use thermal bags but want to know if i can cut the sheet in half

Absolutely you can cut them to the sizes you need. Just make sure not to cut the ice pockets
787923
You might be able to cut the sheet but be careful not to weaken the seal, the sheet may start to leak

Yes you can. They come in small packets and if cut along the line, can definitely be put into thermal bags

Yes. You will need a blade to cut it, though. It won't unwrap because it almost melts into itself, but you can cut it off anything else like shrink wrap.

Yes, it can be cut in half but you will have to stitch for them to hold up under washing. I would recommend buying the smaller sizes. I bought this larger size for pulling a bedridden patient back in the proper position in bed after slipping toward the end of the bed.

It is very easy to cut yourself, once you receive the sheet. I had to let mine sit out for 48 hours to relax from shipping, but then cut it down to my desired size with a long steak knife. An electric turkey knife would make it really easy.

I havent tried to cut it however with a new/sharp utility knife I do not see it being a problem. The folds are thinner than the actually padded mat so cutting along the fold could be done with some scissors (i would think) - the mat itself is fairly thin. If the equiptment you are placing on it is heavy you could just fold one fold under and it wouldnt matter since its so thin.

I see no reason why you couldn't do that as long as you don't cut the hard supports. Cutting the cloth should be fine. They work very well. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! They actually don't come in the format shown in the picture. It's long sheets. You can cut them and place however you like.

I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress. It can be cut very easily with razor sharp edges. The instructions on the packaging instruct to use a scissor to remove the vacuum package of the mattress. I was toying with the idea of cutting a full sized matrress but im not sure if the outer shell of the mattress is heat treated to limit the flow of air. I definitely would recommend contacting the manufacturer with questions about cutting the mattress or having a mattress custom made. Those are my concerns. Im sure it would be fine if it were to be cut but i do not have enough information to recommend doing so. I dont think it would be wise to start cutting this matress.

YES you'll be able to cut it fairly easy providing you have good sharp siss i rs, the top and bottom sections seem to seperate on the edges, so you could peel them apart the few inches you need to cut and this would make it so you could cut a layer at a time.GOOD LUCK

Mine came with instructions, and it is very specific that if they get cut (like with a utensil), they must be discarded. So I would assume that cutting in half would be a big no-no. They can be used over 400 degrees. Also cannot be put in the dishwasher, or even soaked in soapy. Just wipe them off with a soapy cloth or sponge then rinse. Store flat or rolled, never folded as this might crack the surface. I keep mine flat in a drawer under my dish towels. One note my sister told me, is that they will always feel and look like there is oil on the surface; this is normal. Just found this; I had wondered why you needed to avoid cutting. From Silpat website: "Do not cut the SILPAT as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food" Here is a link to the site; I learned quite a few things..... http://www.silpat.com/faq.html PS I would buy another pan. These things are great!

This product can be cut, but you must seal the edges or it will fall apart. You can seal the edges using a lighter. Burning the plastic. Simple to do.

I folded mine, and it worked great, but sorry I can't answer that question. It is a very good mat; and I recommend it. I have never tried to cut it so I just don't know.

You could do that with no problems. You would probably want to burn/melt the end you cut to keep it from fraying which isn't a big deal.

I think you could easily cut it in half. I don't think it would fray or anything like that.

If you cut one in half it won't be long enough to grab from both ends around your back. Cutting it will cause it to unravel.You can keep it folded while you use it, or scrunch it up and use it like a shower puff.

Since there is no finished side to this item, I see no reason why you couldn't cut it. Can't you find a smaller size though? If you do cut it, mark it with a chalk line and then cut with a razor knife.

I've not done this personally, but see no reason why it would not be possible. depending on the moisture content, you may need to clean the new cut edge and get it dry for a proper vacuum seal again, but as long as you had adequate bag remaining for the new seal you should be able to easily re-seal the contents as if it was a freshly filled bag.
