What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A small translucent Dycem non-slip mat cut to fit the ledge of APH's Light Box, keeping materials stable while a student works with tactile or visual materials on the illuminated surface. Dycem is a well-known grippy polymer material — it holds objects in place without adhesive, just friction. This is an accessory, not a standalone product: it only makes sense if you already have the APH Light Box with ledge. The product has been discontinued, so stock is limited and replacement won't be possible once it sells out — a generic Dycem sheet cut to size may serve as a substitute.
