    If you have a Michaels or Joanns in your are; use either's coupon to get 40-50% off.
    Joann's usually has some in the store if you don't get them in the mail

    Both shops have large cutting boards; And, both shops take each other's coupons for items they both carry.
    Good luck

    Welcome from North Carolina! I had the same trouble and had to buy a new one too. Now I store mine under the bed to keep it flat when I'm not using it.

    I had a smaller craft mat (gray) I use as a cutting mat.......yup warped........I put it in the drive-way cement, put a bucket of water on it for weight & the heat and sun flattened it..........yours however is big..........is it one of those thick white ones? Could you put it between your matress and springs? Just a thought...............calla/Sue

    don't waste your time trying to straighten it, if possible you can cut it into smaller usable areas, but you need to buy a new mat. they are never the same after that happens and even the manufacturer will tell you this pretty much makes the mat unusable...i've had this happen so many times, mat in hot car...mat in storage, it is a real bummer but sometimes you can cut a couple usable pieces.it is very dangerous to try to cut on it though, the warp can cause the cutter to 'jump/skip' and those blades cut fast and deep.
