Does this mat have a completely smooth surface or does it have a texture/grain? I'm looking for something I can roll out fondant and gumpaste onto

It's not completely smooth--it sort of has an subtle texture, but very subtle. I use it to roll out cookies, pie crust, etc.

no texture to this paper - it is flat and smooth and very easy to put up. love it.

It dries as a textured finish but isn't super rough. I used it on the floor of my boat and doesn't bother bare feet one bit. The first coat may look a little clumpy but smooth it out as best you can and the second coat really evens things out. No issues with the roller but with a brush it's more of a dabbing motion than a brush stroke.

Myra, it is textured, wish it was smooth, but I think it will still clean up and be safer than the plastic cutting boards I have used in the past. Check and see if they have one with a smooth top before you buy. Vicky Hulrey

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

I would not recommend it...you don't want any grease or anything on the mat - it will erode fondant. I also think that cookie dough might need a bit of flour to keep it from sticking. But if you aren't going to use it for fondant all that often, I don't see why not. But really, just go to the Walmart and buy it by the yard. It's a lot cheaper and you can have several for different uses. It's very expensive. And the first one I ordered came folded into an envelope, rendering it garbage, so be careful who you order from, if you do.

I believe it always has some texture to it. There are different patterns available. I've never seen smooth.

It is smooth. It does not have a matte texture like some of the protectors I've seen.

What do you mean? Like is it a gel texture? It comes out very smooth and thin

No. It won't make a textured surface smooth. It's very thin and sort of glides on the surface you're painting. I got a very smooth effect on formica with a foam roller. For a textured surface, you would likely need a brush. I'm wondering about the texture. Texture might mean vinyl. I don't know how that would work and last. I think that the advantage to this product is that, on a smooth surface, the effect is very smooth. Usually painting means a "painted" look. This product doesn't look like stainless steel, but it doesn't look like paint either. For me, whether I'd try it on your project would depend on how much I hated my current refrigerator.

It is completely smooth on the bottom. This works out great for me, makes it easier to clean.

Not sure really what Fondant texture is like. I know they use it on cake (I've watched Cake Boss). But I don't see why you can't. It just won't be very big sheets of Fondant.

I believe it might be a good thing to use for fondant. I haven't rolled that out, but I have pizza dough on an uneven surface with no problems.

No, it is smooth. I see some responses say it does have texture, which I cannot understand, as most wallpapers do not. This is smooth, regular wallpaper. I put it in my son's room for an accent wall (other walls are terra-cotta). It looks good--fun. I don't think of it as a "serious" wallpaper but a kind of hip, trompe-l'oeil look.

Yes, this tile have a smooth surface. It will crack if you use it on a bar, and countertops.

I don't know for sure but is it very similar to the material used in the Gel Pro mats fro the kitchen. It is smooth, lays flat, about 3/8" thick and it stays in position. I like it

The bottom side of mine is smooth and the top side is a matte type surface.Works for me and I have used it this way for 6 months with no problems.A very high quality product that does not slide around on my hardwood floor.
