Pinstripes
Customer has pix of NY Yankees. Wants the mat to be pinstriped.
Stripes would be 1/6-1/8 wide. Any alternatives to a ruling pen?

Decor moulding has pin striped mats that are in NY Yankee colors. VB1101 and VB 1102.

I made a Yankee mat once and used drafting tape to make the pinstripes.

Why not show some class and wrap the mat in cotton ducking like the jerseys, then pen strip it?

What a great idea, Mar! I'm guessing that you read Baer's article
and had a good chuckle over it - coals to Newcastle, whatever. I hope you don't say 'yeesh' in your next post.
