cutting mat
#2
Since you have nothing to lose I heated mine with a hair dryer and put it between 2 heavy flat surfaces. It distorted the cutting lines but I was able to use the mat.
Later I cut it up and use it for smaller items that need to be squared up. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. After talking with a number of So I figured I had nothing to lose...I put mine out on the back deck in FULL sun and it flattened out like new... no distortion or anything... ( this was in the summer in central MN) so it wasn't like TX heat... so give it a try....

Wish I had this advice before I recently forked out for a new one! My large mat also got distorted with my move back to the US and pondered what to do when Joann's had them on sale-so I just bought one-but at least it was on sale! I still have the old one so I will try these suggestions to see if I can save it.

Wow, I'm glad someone posted this. My mat got bent a little bit about a week ago and have debating whether or not to just buy a new one. Now I'll be trying this...as soon as we get some good sun. I'm hoping for an indian summer really soon!!!! We just got some snow a couple days ago.

Unfortunately we just had 3 days of nearly 100 degree weather which would have been perfect to lay the mat out, but its cooler today but still sunny so I think I;ll try it anyway. I doubt it will be getting hot again now that it is winter.
