Grass Mat

I just put put a new grass mat on my 4' X 8' plywood train platform. Because the mat has been rolled up it does not lay flat. I was expecting that. Should I put boards on it to flatten it out or should I just leave alone?

For display layouts, I've found unrolling the mat and laying it on the table grass side down for a few days gets it flat enough to make installation easier. Laying a piece of 2x4 on top if it, across the width of the table, will keep it from curling back up on itself.  Two or three days should do the trick.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

Thanks, I'll try that.
