It keeps small parts from rolling off the bench, it gives solvent and glue somewhere to go, and it protects the bench top from the project. The \u003cstrong\u003eMagic Carpet® Workbench Mat\u003c\/strong\u003e does all three with a firm, low profile textile that soaks liquid into its core fast and cleans up with a hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy felt beats rubber on a bench\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rubber bench mat is fine until you spill on it. Then the solvent sits on the surface, spreads under your parts, and ends up on your sleeve. Silicone mats are small and made for soldering, not for a carburetor teardown. The Magic Carpet® is dense needlepunched polyester with a patented pass-through wicking core. Oil, penetrating fluid, glue, and stain soak in and spread out across the middle layer. The surface stays workable and the bench underneath stays dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrews and washers stay where you set them. The felt surface has enough grip to stop hardware from rolling and enough give to protect a finished part you set face down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWorkbench mat sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBench or task\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagic Carpet® size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall parts tray, soldering, reloading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.75 x 18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalf a standard bench\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSM or MD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.75 x 21.25 in or 16.25 x 27 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull 4 foot bench\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLG or XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.75 x 33 in or 25 x 38.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 foot bench or two mats side by side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.75 x 44.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat people do on it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"mc-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine and carb work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLay out parts in order and let the fluid drain into the mat.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStain and topcoat drips go into the mat instead of the bench.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGunsmithing and cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolvent and oil soak in, small pins stay put.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics and hobby\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA padded surface for scopes, cameras, and RC repair.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBike maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChain lube and degreaser under the stand.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"mc-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft and resin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtects the table from resin, glue, and paint.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrush off dry debris.
