Can someone tell me? - I assume this material has no "memory" so right off the roll lies totally flat without any adhesive or manipulation.

No adhesive, just cut and place...if you are close to the end of the roll where it is wound tightest you might want to flatten it a bit, but really not an issue.

It's thin and pretty pliable. Maybe even a little delicate but can be rolled easily and lies flat after being stored rolled. I used a shortened xmas paper roll for storage.

You could just lay it flat, it seems to lay fine without being magnetically attached to anything.

I had this same question & mentioned it in my review, as well. I hypothesized that by having the sticker, they don't have to use any "glue" on the start of the roll, (I don't think there's any at the end, either, or at least there's very little) and any "adhesive" is contained in the sticker. At first, it bothered me, but now not so much. I'm interested to see what they do for the replacement. :)

Heavy enough not to need tape. You certainly could put some underneath. It is flat. But you don't need it.

I just checked the remainder of my roll. If you cut a sharp end off the tape and start with your finger nail at one corner, you should be able to get it off. Mine took only a second.

As others have said, the answer is definitely "no"as the mat is plastic - not silicone. It does roll up, as others have stated, but I strongly prefer to store it flat. It makes it easier to use the next time as it has a memory when rolled. I started storing it behind a solid, case good piece of furniture: ie console or sideboard. That worked fine until someone suggested I put it on the dining room table under the pads and table cloth. If you happen to leave those in place, it is definitely the best option for me for this item. Storing flat also makes it so I have absolutely no problem with slipping. As it is large, I do have to tuck it under a few things on the counter just to fit it in place. That may be why I've never had any slipping issues. As I told another person who asked a question, I actually purchased this because it was so inexpensive compared to the $30 range for the silicone mats. It also has all the nice markings/measurements. I didn't intend to like it so even before I bought it, I had given myself the permission to just consider the price a loss and buy the silicone WHEN I disliked this mat. Then I got a big shock. I LOVE this mat!! I have a small, silicone mat that I've had for years so I do have some idea of the differences. Though I wouldn't use a sharpened knife on this mat, it if definitely much sturdier than silicone and therefore you can your a much larger number of gadgets without the fear of damaging the mat - especially since it is so much cheaper than the silicone. The absolute only pro I can come up with for the silicone is that it can be folded or balled up and wrapped with a rubber band to save space. This mat has a much longer list of pros for me anyway. I know that is much more than you asked, but I can't help running off at the mouth about this mat as I was so very shocked that I really love it. I can't imagine needing to purchase another mat, but if I did, I would definitely, without question get this mat again! Hope that helps.

I have never used the "no cardboard" type never knew they made such a thing.. I think it would hold with a full roll, but I could foresee a problem as the role gets smaller. So I would say probably not a good idea.

It's just the vinyl on a non-standard sized cardboard tube. i.e. smaller than the core in a standard seamless paper roll. So I re-rolled it onto a used seamless paper core and it works great. I've been using this for about 8 months now just cleaning it with a damp sponge and windex. It's still going strong and I haven't even flipped it over yet. I would have gone through at least 6 rolls of white seamless by now!

The tape is double sided, the sticky part, when you take it off the roll goes on the cushion. The other end has a thin protective film which comes off after a little bit of scratching on the corner.

Mine has always layed completely flat, even when I roll it up for travel, it returns to a perfectly flat shape. I wouldn't recommend trimming it. The material is pretty thick and is more likely to rip apart than cut neatly.

It always lays completely flat. I would buy this again in a minute and the rolling pin I purchased that lets you roll out four different thicknesses also.

They lay flat, as far as sticky... well, the ones I bought aren't very sticky at all. I had a plastic bag land on one and was able to pull it off without ripping it. Save your money and look for another seller.

I didn't use any tape and I used for rolls I just bought edges together it stuck to each other once it was on it was there especially if using heat gun, in certain areas I just overlapped it I triple layered my trunk

There was no assembly required. Just make sure that the wrap is coming over the top of the roll. Hope this helps.

It is neither paper or plastic. It has a nice smooth 'flat rubbery feel'. Rolls up quite easily.

The mat is rolled around a cardboard tube. Upon unpacking the mat is completely flat and shows no signs of having ever been rolled.
