Instructions
Step-by-step instructions Freshmat
Notes:
- Never spray onto a mat that is still in the plotter.
- Only use the spray adhesive outdoors.
- Always follow the safety instructions.
Step 1
The mat must first be cleaned to achieve a good long-term bonding result.
Coarse material residues can be removed with a spatula.
Step 2
Now clean your cutting mat with warm water and a little washing-up liquid.
Please note: With Silhouette cutting mats, the entire adhesive layer is usually removed. However, this is not a problem as it is reapplied with Freshmat in the next steps.
Step 3
Protect the edges of your cutting mat by carefully masking them with masking tape. This step is crucial, as taped edges can damage the transport rollers of your cutting machine.
Step 4
Only use Freshmat outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms! Shake the can thoroughly before use. Choose an insensitive surface and place newspaper underneath if necessary.
Step 5
Maintain a distance of around 20 cm and spray your cutting mat evenly. The longer you spray and the more adhesive you apply, the stronger the adhesion of the mat will be.
Step 6
You can now remove the masking tape.
Done!
Tips: Before attaching the material completely to the mat, we recommend that you first test it on a corner of the mat.
