So I've got a deadzone neoprene mat, about 2' x 2' that was folded over for a few years... And the fold won't go away. Any recommendations for fixing this? I've left it under some boxes for three days, and it might have improved a little, but the fold is still quite noticible. Any recommendations?

use a hair dryer, you can roll it or flattened it.

Thanks!

I ended up putting it in the washer (hot water, gentle cycle, small load) and the dryer (warm, gentle cycle) and it came out (almost) perfect.

Much improved, would recommend.

I had one shipped to me like that.

I just left it on the driveway (it was summer) for an hour or so - with the print side face down (so the darker underside could absorb more of the warmth ... Then I hung it by the corners on my clothesline, letting gravity pull the creases out.

Ha. That's genius!

If you lived in or near Phoenix Arizona that might have resulted in a melted mat if the past month is any indication!!

Unfortunately here, (San Francisco) our summers are typically foggy and cold, making such a strategy a bit more challenging...
