If you were thinking about keeping it down permanently maybe some super glue or those cheap school glue bottles could work. Though I wouldn't do that if it was a very expensive thing.

I agree with @Aviation Enjoyer. An alternative would be to use some heavy objects to keep the mat from curling up at the corners. I’ve seen people use Gemini200 boxes for that, but something like a weighty book or textbook would work fine.

Not a bad idea but I do move my model airport layout a lot so glue wouldn’t be best also don’t wanna ruin it in case I move one day and need to take it out which is likely

Does it leave any bumps on the mat or uneven surfaces as I want it flat

I think that you should put model boxes or heavy books on top of it for a few days, it works pretty well. I made the mistake of laminating mine before I did that.

I mount it on PVC Board, using the double-sided tape, then put some heavy books on top for a couple days. There are no obvious bumps or uneven surfaces. It still looks great after several years of use.
