I have a Wilton fondant mat that is only a couple months old and it was perfect when I got it home (flat) but now the corners are starting to curl. I know I can tape them down to the table but does anyone know what else I can do? Any tips? thanks.

Can you run it under hot water and then lay something over top of the corners to hold it down until it cools? I don't know if this will work, just a thought.

Mine has terrible fold marks in it from coming in a box... do you think the hot water would work for that too?

UUUGGG this is the thing that I hate the most about my mat. When I run it under hot water it acutally curls tighter but I've never tryed laying it out flat too cool. I wonder if that would work? Hopefully someone smarter than me has a great solution.

I put towels over mine and ironed it on a medium-setting, and let it cool while laying flat with the towel on it.

I've had to soak mine in hot water before. Clean your tub really well, lay it flat, and soak. Lay it flat to dry. I also store mine in wrapping paper tubes, and I roll it opposite every time.

I layed mine down with the curl (and lines from folds) facing my ironing board and covered it with a warm, wet towel and ironed that sucker! Worked pretty good!

I took a hot coffee pot (with water in it) and "ironed" it that way. It worked pretty good.

Lots of great ideas! I've had the same problem with the curling. I actually just got an Ateco mat but, it's so much bigger than my Wilton one plus it's a different material. I haven't even tried it yet. "Fear of the unknown I guess." I was so excited to get it and now it's just sitting in the packaging while I continue to use my beat up Wilton one. I'm definitely going to try the ironing trick.

I stick mine in a warm dryer for a few minutes until it softens, then lay flat to cool under some weights. Works great.....

another "ironer" here!

(now don't faint -- yes, a guy who actually owns an iron and knows how to use it too!

ok -- -now you can faint -- and owns a sewing machine and can use it too!)

I use vinyl plastic from fabric store for rolling my fondant.
To keep folds and wrinkles at bay, after it is washed and dried, I hang it up in my "CAKE CLOSET" with a pant hanger (maybe 2, if it is large)

Hair dryer.

I roll my mat the opposite way it's curling and stick it in an empty paper towel roll for a little while.

Roul Pat and Silpat silicone mats don't do this, they can be rolled or folded, when you unroll them they automatically flatten out, no creases. I love these mats, they are expensive but so worth it and last for years. I have had the silpat for 6 years and other than darkening in color from baking, it still has it's non stick ability and no tears or wrinkles in it. The Roul Pat I use only for fondant, it is a big generous size and works beautifully.
