Record player mat

This is awesome placemat available in ikea , it’s a little bigger, all you need to do is trim to size and that’s it.

Try it out and I think no regrets here.

Looks cool. What’s it made of ?

[rox 9]

It feels like very rigid form but also flexible and the finish is awesome.

Love the look of it i wonder if its paper ? How is the static with it ? 

[rantan 9,868]

It certainly looks the part.

How much did you need to trim?

 

Edit: I had a look on the Ikea website and couldn't find it. When did you buy it?

It’s available in Sydney IKEA I picked  it up 3 weeks ago and yes it’s does not show on they website. You have to visit IKEA near you . 
Trimming is about 25 mm around.

used a old mat as a  template.

It really sits well and a album with static does not lift it out of place.

It does a good job.

Regarding hole in the middle , just made a small hole with a pen then used a round file to make the hole just to fit in the player.

This is one of mine made from a IKEA cork place mat. They were slightly larger and I used a 6mm hole punch to form the hole.

The main reason I used them was to raise the arm at the head shell end to make it level. I use a rubber mat on top of this.

I remember the mats being round but this is the closes I can find.
