A couple of times a year I take my large mat (which is too big for my tub) over to my son's house. I tie it to a float line in his pool and let it soak 3 or 4 hours. This re-hydrates it and mends all those little cuts. While it is soaking I cover the top of his pool table and spray baste a quilt. Since he adopted Patrick 3 years ago the only thing he uses his pool table for is folding laundry. Isn't it amazing how your priorities change when you're a single parent :lol:
