You can buy table protection material by the metre. In this video I show you how I installed some PTFE (Teflon) sheet over my entire art table. Watch this video to see what I learnt, so that you don’t make the same mistakes!

Ranger sell a great craft mat called INKSSENTIALS table protector. If you are in the USA, you can buy it by the metre from Joggles.com. If this is not possible in your country, or you want to save some money, then there are alternatives available. I used PTFE sheeting. You can see why I chose this material in my Part 1 Video: Best Large Craft Table Protector. Watch this video to see how easily the products can be cleaned, and details on alternatives and purchasing options.
