Can I cut several inches off this mat without it warping or curling?

i don't think that would be wise, its quite substantial, I would think that it would be best to order a smaller one, if you already have this one just return it and get the size you need.

We have had no problems with warping. But we live in California. Not very hot or very cold area

The surface of these cutting mats is smooth. I haven't had any problems cutting vegetables, meat or fish. The problem I have is storage. I don't have a drawer space or an area where they can lay flat without something being on top.

Not really. This is light weight silk and needs the edges to be oversewn (or rolled) or attached to a stabilizer to be cut on exact edges.

The material that this mat is made from is a foam-type material and can be cut and still be workable. It does have a decorative rim a few inches from the edge, but cutting this will not make the mat fray or where it could not be used.

Yes but you have to pull the blade on the cutter out a little further. If you don't it will cut through just far enough to leave a skim of paper which when you try to fix it mucks up the mat. This thing will cut a real nice mat but there is a learning curve and even thereafter it's easy to screw it up if you're not careful. Overall I am happy with it. It does the job and was affordable. Once you have a feel for how the blade has to be fiddled with its fine. If you pull the blade out to far it will overcut

I'm looking at the mat and I think YES. It's not so thick that you couldn't cut it and it is very soft and pliable. You'd want to use a nice sharp blade. I think it would still work great with all the remaining suction cups!

You can cut the mat but not the heating wire itself. It can be shaped a little but a custom order is ideal.

You can move it and shape it, however it is heavy so you won't want to moving it a lot (I ask my husband to do the heavy lifting).

You could but cutting mats are wider than the sewing table (table is 7 1/2 x 39 inches)

Personally I would never consider cutting it. I don't know what it would do but I know they stress not to ever cut anything on it with a knife. I would recommend buying a perforated pan (the one with all the tiny holes). I think those pans truly are what these silicon mats are meant to be used with. Sil-Eco makes a perforated pan that has big enough measurements for these mats for about $15 on Amazon. I have a similar one I bought elsewhere and the holes makes for some nice even baking.

I don't recommend cutting this mat. A brick and mortar store like OD/OM sells a 17" width.

Yes, the length of the razor blades is what limits the thickness of mat that can be cut.

It says not to cut.. I didn't cut mine, just let it hang over a little! Love this mat!!

Hello. I had no problem cutting this material. however, I did not purchase the super thick mat. I used a sharp box knife and a straight edge and was super pleased. I mated 4 pieces to cover the room. I hope this helps : - )

I suppose it can be done, it's not too awfully thick. The integrity of the matt would not change at all is you had to make it smaller.

My mat was not shipped flat. It was rolled. I used a hair dryer to uncoil it and that worked fine. I do recommend the mat as it is thicker than ones I have used in the past.
