I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats

Turntable mats seem to be an inexpensive way to improve a component, but the thing that gives me pause is that as I understand it, you put them on with adhesive. Is there a possibility that a turntable would be damaged by a turntable mat?

If it's relevant at all, the turntable I'm thinking of using a mat on is a Sota Comet III bought used.

I use a Stein music mat on my MMf-7.3...it is a super thin mat and causes no issue with VTA. To me, it sounds great...it ought to at $249!
Also have the Origin Live mat, but have not used it yet. I  originally had, actually still have, the original Ring Mat. It is also a great mat imo. Lastly, I have several leather/suede mats from Hide in the sound, they are a nice economical mat.
On my Technics mk7, I am using a KabUSA glass platter mat combined with a technics thin rubber mat...also have a Herbies mat for this table.
