Hey All,

I have a large OLFA Rotary Mat. I lost it during our last move, but found it (yayyy!).

The only problem is that it is bent really bad on one side and that mcauses the whole thing curl up. I tried very lightly heating it, but that made it crack a little. Currently, I have a few large books on it.

I really don't want to/have the money to replace it.

Any ideas?

Thanks ya'll!

Try dipping into hot water in the tub then laying it out flat and weigh it down.
Or wait till this summer and let old Mr sun do it.

Ashley, here is a link to the Olfa website that tells you about warped mats. Hope this helps!

Karen,

Thanks for the information! Their site says it can't be fixed, but I'm gonna give it a whirl anyway. I sure hope they are wrong..lol..

Much love,
