Help! Is my Olfa mat dead?
#11
Thanks, Jan! Great idea! I was about to warn ladies if they lived where I do that the mat might melt if left out too long. It's been Hot! We are getting relief and a little bit of moisture now, but summer is not over!
I have heard some will use a hot hair dryer on mats, but for severe problems it might not work.

Jan, you always do the best pictures to make learning/understanding easy!
I don't understand the concept of putting your mat in the bath tub. My tubs aren't wide enough to sit the mat down flat. Do you just prop it up on the side and fill the tub?

You'll want to put your mat on a hot surface to flatten it. The hottest surface known to man is the roof of a car sitting in the New Mexico sunshine on a hot day . You will probably have to flip it over a time or two but, once it is flexible get it off the car and lay it on a flat surface to cool.

Jan, thanks a great way to even store them between use! I know the Dollar Tree sell those plastic type cardboard posters (? think that is what they are made of) I use it to pin twisters blocks after cutting them to keep there place. Well they sell those boards for $1. each. I'm going to share this with my quilting group!
Thanks for sharing this great idea, Jan! It's good to see you back here so soon. Hope it doesn't hurt to type!
