Great hint ! Waiting for one of those last 90 degree days that sneaks up on us this late.

Thanks for the tip !
I'm glad it worked for you. I left my mat in the car, where the temp got up to about 120 and, of course, the mat warped. I tried putting it on the driveway, which gets full sun all day, tried putting glass over it in the sun, tried putting bricks on it in the sun and finally put it in a guild garage sale, where someone snapped it up immediately. I wish the sun had done its magic for me (we've had more than 60 days of 100 plus degree weather here this summer) and I hope it did for her. froggyintexas
