The Mat

I’ve had mine for a couple years now , and I do have a little bit of waviness on the edges . But overall its pretty flat

Really? Then I wonder why mine are so wavy…..to the point where I cant even use it anymore :(

I have had mine for a long time and it’s still in great condition. However, after using it, I store it the same way it came in – I put the paper in between the layers, roll it tight and insert it into the tube. So far, I’ve had no problems with it.

I would have to say ditto to DJ’s comment. I have had mine for a while and I also store it back the way it came after I am done using it.

I have heard of someone using a hairdryer to gently heat the mat while another person holds it hanging straight down until it straightens out…might help

I have had the exact same problem….not happy, as you stated, product isn’t cheap. So very disappointing. I store it exactly as others have stated, but with a linen t towel between the layers…then back in the tube. When I first got it, loved it, worked great. The last fondant I rolled out….nightmare city!!!! It stuck like glue. I had wiped The Mat as it got dog hair on it, dried with a linen tea towel and re-conditioned with just the smallest amount of shortening. Should have worked perfectly. I also noticed it’s not quite as soft & subtle as it use to be. It’s only 3 yrs old…and Im just a hobby baker, so it hasn’t been used a lot. I debated writing the inventors and asking why this was happening. They sell food grade vinyl at my local Wal Mart…so if I need to replace, going to buy there. Half the price of what I paid.

Hi jchuck, I got that same vinyl at walmart for like $8.00 a YARD!! Works GREAT, better then the MATT.

Yes Rosa….a darn sight cheaper than the $45 CAD + shipping that I paid for the Mat. I don’t think the Mat should have deteriorated and become so brittle after only 2 years!!!!

Hi guys, ive only just got my mat and used it about 4 times now and I love it! Makes covering larger cakes so much easier. Thanks for the heads up on the wavy problem, ill keep my eye on it. I also store it in the tube with the paper as it came so hopefully ill have no probs, we’ll see in a few years of use xx
