as long as you keep it out of the sun, should be ok

I forgot to put the best part in....you can just throw away the mess when you're done.

I know what I'll be doing tomorrow -- soaking the 15-yr-old mat. I noticed today that there were most-often-used lines with "eyelashes." I vacuumed, but some were stubborn. It isn't completely clean. I hope the soaking works.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Do you really think the mat would curl that badly if only soaked for an hour? When you take it out of the tub (or wherever) couldn't you not just lay it flat to dry?

Just sayin'

Anyone know where to get a mushroom brush? I have looked all over for one for about a year now and have not been able to find one.

This thread is 7 pages long now - can we have a report from anyone who has actually done it now, to let us know if they think their boards have improved?

I've got an old mat with a small crack in it and one big crack that is about 10" long. I soaked the mat in the tub (it's one of the smaller ones----18x24. Then I took it out, dried it and taped it heavily on the back. After drying it front and back, I discovered it still had linty stuff in teh cracks. Srubbed that a few times. It's now on the kitchen table with wet paper towels on the top. I don't want to get the tape on the back wet. I hope it holds together. We're probably going to need a second mat when we work at church tomorrow.

My big one sure looks and feels better. I've not cut anything yet.

A baby hair brush is the same thing.

My old board is softer and it certainly didn't hurt it.
