The icy-cool Pet Mat can easily be
made using 2 pillowcase sheets and some of
our
WaterGel Crystal granules.
(Medium blend, 41K
Agricultural blend polymer)
One pillowcase sheet is used for making the
Pet Mat while the second
is used
as a pillowcase cover.
Using a second cover sheet makes
washing and cleanup easier.
Select pillowcase sizes, sew using the pillowcase for the inside only.
Refer to sample
drawing below and create tubes by sewing and filling each tube
with
dry crystal granules.
For a 2 inch
wide by 7 inch long tubes, use approximately 1 teaspoon of the medium crystal
granules.
Adjust the amount of crystals you use to fit the size
of your tubes and pillow.
Caution - using to many granules will cause the tubes to rip open when the
Pet Mat is placed in water to hydrate the granules.
Place Pet Mat in cool/cold water for several hours to hydrated the crystal
granules.
Remove from water, cover
with second pillowcase. Done!
The completed Pet Mat can be hand washed using mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
TO DRY
Hang up in open air and allow
to completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.
