    Can silicon mats be cut to size.

    Most of the ones I’m seeing look like a weave.
    Will WM suffice?

    I cut both of mine. No unraveling and no problems. Regular scissors worked just fine.

    Same here. Weave is not affected as it is in the silicone material. Scissors work great.

    My original mats came from Costco in 2012 and I cut them to fit my oven racks using a paper cutter. I am still using the same mats after tens of thousands of bullets and they look old and stained, but no unraveling and they still work. Costco still carries the same mats, about $12 for three.
