Does this mat stay flat or does it roll up while you're tying to work? My Wilton mat has to be wieghted on all sides or it rolls... Thanks!

This mat is great and lays flat on the surface and doesn't move at all. I made my first fondant cake using this mat and it rolled out perfectly and came off easily..my customer was very happy. Superb product at a very affordable price

It stays perfectly flat. Our countertops are granite, although I think it would stay flat on most surfaces.

It should be able to be rolled. Folding would create a crease on the edge that might leak. The biggest issue I would see is how to keep it from unrolling. You would most likely have to brace it. I do love this mat though. It holds a ton of water and keeps it off the floor. I've been very impressed as we've had a lot of snow and rain and street gunk. I just squeegee the water out. It's great!

I haven't had any problems, but I use this mat for rolling dough/pastry only. I have separate SilPats for cooking. The only thing I try to be very careful with is using any sort of scraper on the mat. It would ruin it if the surface got scratched/cut up.

No, it came rolled and never did become flat before I returned it. It was totally unsuitable for use on my medium deep pile carpet.

It stays unrolled, when it came it was rolled up, but I laid it flat on the floor overnight and now it stays flat. When not used, we leave it standing between the sewing cabinet and the wall.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

I echo Alan's response. It's pretty thick (which is a good thing for a mat like this) so you won't be able to roll it up tightly.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

It's rolled up. I put weight on the corners and put it under the sun for a couple of hours, it flattened out completely.Now it's on the floor, I love it.

I have never tried to roll my mat up, so I can't answer that particular question... however I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the mat

Its too thick to roll up like a yoga mat. it was shipped to me flat in a box. if you can lay it flat in your suitcase that would be best. But there are other mats that work just as well and are not so thick that they stick up and cause tripping if not careful.

I know about fondant, you are beyond my baking skill set. Once it uncurls and lays flat it pretty well stays put. It is not flimsy, it is a substantial mat. Now I am comparing this to mats I' seen in retail outlets. Hope this helps.

The mat holds up very well. the only issue is that it does slide a bit on the tile floor. If you want it to stay in place you will need to tape it underneath.

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing but mine is just a mat-no installation at all-you lay it down. You can easily roll it up if you need to. In fact I had to put heavy things on it just to get it to roll flat after I recieved it.

I keep mine rolled out. Don't think it makes any difference once the dough is on it. Haven't had any problems myself, but then I bought it because I have to use the kitchen table and I used to make a huge mess. This mat keeps my flour pretty much contained.

Rolled uo, but it didn't take too long to flatten out. I think I left it on my basement floor for a day. Fits just right!

Mine rolls up fine.So if you pull down slowly it stays where you put it, if you pull down quickly (just an inch or so) and let go it rolls back up.
