Yes it is a silicone spray. The link did not work for me either but I did a copy and paste into my browser and yes the web site is still there. I also found some on the Quilt and a Day web site. So it seems it is out there, you might find it in a brick and mortar store if you do a further search.

Well, Bully for you! Some of us learn to value things that work for us.

Some people buy a new or another car every couple years and others don't. We all have our reasons and many of us just wear things down to the bear threads. If we can get just a little more mileage then so be it. My mat is 10 years old. I don't use mine as much as others but at least once a week. It warps a little once in a while. I have a flat surface I can lay it on and I mist it with hot water. Then I use a large dowel like a rolling pin to smooth it out as it dries. This also seems to help smooth out the grooves in the mat.

I have never felt value for a worn out cutting mat. LOL

Yah, good idea, but where can you find a mat that has the lines on both sides. I would like to find a good use for my big ones that are practically cut all the way through, like a liner for refrigerator shelves or something. I have a good 8 or 9 mats, big and medium small that I cannot cut on anymore, but I could cut them to fit the shelves and take those out and wash them and keep the glass shelving cleaner. Or drawer liners in the kitchen. I can think of a lot of things like that, but when it comes down to it, it starts sounding stupid, so I don't. Edie

I harken to an old old expression, probably from the "great depression" era, "a penny saved is a penny earned", and in those days, it wasn't just being thrifty, it was necessary to survive.

I am going to try fixing my big mat. Thanks for the information! I do have a large mat on my Christmas list. I will have to see if I can find the product you mention.

What a fabulous hint! Thank you so much for sharing!

Sounds like a good idea. My mat is 36x48 and the spots I cut on a lot need cleaning. I will have to try this. A new large mat just isn't in the budget. I cut up my old mat into smaller pieces. I cut the good spot out of it. One piece sits on the small table next to my machine, great to use when paper piecing and small trimming projects. I have a larger piece I take on retreat.
