Could you just put it in a flat area in the rain?

Thanks for the ideas!

If you are using cutting blades other than a straight one you should use the reverse side of your mat. The fancy blades will leave irregular lines. (learned on a Craftsy class on Hand Applique this weekend).

I used to put mine in the jacuzzi when we had it and then layed it flat on a towel and dryed it. the jacuzzi had a bed in it so i layed it on that.also when it warpped put it out in the sun on a towel in the driveway and let the sun do the work.For the bigger one to clean it just lay on towels in the driveway and hose it and i took a broom to scrub it with. of course this method is when it is warm out.

Don't forget to put oil on the blade. When the cutting mat is no good any longer, cut it to fit the bottom of a handbag that you made.

Great website! Really explains the process. I got tickled though when I read the part about fixing a warped mat and decided by the time I purchased plywood and plate glass, and then wrestled them home, I would rather buy a new mat.

BellaBoo, how do you keep the mat from curling in the bathtub? I don't think my tub is wide enough for the mat to lie flat. Does it matter if it's bent while it's bathing?

I use heavy duty kitchen shears to cut up my mats.
