Speaking of mats, I have 3 large mats that I use side to side on my cutting table. They are well used. Many of you have mentioned that you soak them and they revive. I am wondering if this might help these "defective" blades, even new blades. I also wonder where you soak your mats if you don't have a tub that is wide enough to keep the mats flat? I also wonder if I could soak them in my swimming pool for a few minutes? I live in south FL and when we use the pool we heat it to 90 degrees. I doubt the amount of chemicals would harm them. any thoughts??? Emily
