Description
When you break down a rifle or shotgun for cleaning, the last thing you want is a puddle of solvent creeping across your kitchen table or workbench. The Hoppe's MAT2 gives you a dedicated 12 x 36-inch space to spread out parts, run a rod, and wipe down metal without leaving a mess behind. The soft acrylic top cushions your firearm against dings and scratches while soaking up spills, and the non-slip vinyl backing keeps the mat from sliding around while you work.
What the Hoppe's MAT2 Brings to the Bench
The acrylic surface on this mat is built to absorb, and Hoppe's rates it at roughly eight times its weight in fluids. That means drips of oil, bore solvent, and cleaner get pulled down into the fibers instead of pooling on top or running off the edge. The vinyl backer underneath stops those fluids from soaking through to your table, giving you time to blot things up before anything reaches the surface below. The 12 x 36 footprint is sized right for long guns, so a bolt gun, AR, or shotgun can lay flat with room to spare for patches, brushes, and small parts.
Keeping Your Hoppe's Cleaning Mat in Shape
One of the nicer touches here is that the whole thing is machine washable. After a season of buildup you can toss it in the wash and dry it, then roll it back up and stash it in a drawer or range bag until next time. The hunter green color hides grime well and looks the part on any bench. Keep in mind it's a thinner felt-style pad rather than a thick neoprene mat, so it's meant to protect and absorb rather than pad heavily.
For anyone who cleans guns on a surface they'd rather not stain, this is a simple, no-nonsense piece of gear that earns its keep. It pairs naturally with the rest of the Hoppe's No. 9 lineup and handles the routine maintenance work without fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Hoppe's MAT2 and what firearms does it fit?
The MAT2 measures 12 x 36 inches, which gives you enough room to lay out most rifles and shotguns flat during cleaning. There's typically extra space along the edges for your patches, brushes, rods, and small parts. It's a solid fit for bolt guns, ARs, and long guns in general.
Will the Hoppe's cleaning pad protect my table from solvent and oil?
Yes, that's its main job. The acrylic top absorbs spills down into the fibers, and the non-slip vinyl backing keeps fluids from soaking through to the surface underneath. It buys you time to wipe things up before anything reaches your bench or table.
Can I wash the Hoppe's MAT2 mat when it gets dirty?
It's machine washable, so once it builds up grime from a few cleaning sessions you can toss it in the wash and dry it. The hunter green color also does a decent job hiding stains between washes. After it dries, just roll it up and store it away.
Is this a thick padded mat or a thinner surface?
The MAT2 is a thinner, felt-style pad with a vinyl backer rather than a thick neoprene mat. It's built to absorb fluids and prevent scratches rather than provide heavy cushioning. For everyday cleaning and maintenance, it does exactly what it's meant to do.
