Hi all,

What is the common wisdom on solving the problem of -

when navigating, my dividers - which are damn sharp - will poke through
2 or 3 layers of charts and poke into the surface of the nav station
table.

I'd love to put something down to stop this, but what is the best
thing?

any ideas would be appreciated so I don't have to reinvent the wheel
here.

Thanks,

Mike.

You can get self-healing cutting mat at hobby shops. Plastic model
builders use them all the time for cutting out parts on. Might work
for dividers?
