I have read a lot about using a cricut to cut out gumpaste figures, but is it then food safe? The adhesive on the cutting board does not seem food safe to me. What is your opinion.

I believe most people remove that adhesive before using it for gumpaste

I remove the adhesive, lots of scubbing to get it off but it does come off and I use dawn dishwashing liquid HTH

I bet if you take a razor blade you could scrape it off good.

tatorchip I tried blades, still took some elbow grease. I now soak mine in boiling soapy water for about 5-10mins then take the dishwashing brush and give a quick scrub comes of so easy. Quick rinse and you're all set.

Thanks dutchy1971, appreciate any help I can get

I cover my mat with waxed paper and then the mat is still able to be used with paper. No need to remove the tackiness.
