Talk about bringing a thread back from the dead !


Monday Knight Productions still makes flocked hex mats in several sizes and colors .

Just after my last previous response to this thread I purchased one of their 4X6 feet
green hex mats .
It's been fantastic  !

I've carried it on my back rolled up in an old cardboard tube with a shoulder sling to so many
games in so many locations that I've lost count of how many .

The dots aren't as bright as they were originally but they're still clearly visible .

Mind you that it's been nearly TEN YEARS since I bought it and I've never touched it up .

Other posters in this thread were completely correct about MKP  -they make good stuff .

BTW-Geohex is now back in production so you can buy newly produced hills and
combine them with the MKP mats .

My two hotzmats have stood the test of time and have survived many foldings and unfoldings, plenty of games and thankfully wore no spills.
Eric hotz was still a butt and I don't recommend buying from them.

Honestly if you go Neopreane you will have no intrest in felt going forward in my opinion.

Hotz is out of the business now.

A friend has a 10"x10" plastic stencil for 1.5" hexes that I've used with Sharpies to DIY felt mats. 2 Fine Point Sharpies and 4 hours for a 4'x6' mat isn't terrible.

Got mine from them to help make terrain, and I will be altering a felt mat as well.

Not sure if mine is 10x10, but yeah I intend to use some plywood to lay it out, use thumb tacks to hold the stencil in place and go to it.
