Troubleshooting
Rubber mat has an odor upon unpacking
This is normal for rubber products. Allow the mat to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before installation.
Mat is not lying flat
Ensure the subfloor is level and clean. Try rolling the mat in the opposite direction for a few hours or place heavy objects on the edges to help it settle.
Cutting the mat is difficult
Use a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife with a fresh blade. Score the line first and make multiple passes if necessary. Ensure the mat is on a stable cutting surface.
Mat seems slippery when wet
While designed for grip, very wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the hammertop texture is free from debris and consider additional safety measures if extreme wetness is a constant issue.
