It's like the retail version of that empty storefront in every downtown that somehow stays vacant for a decade.

Have you tried washing it on warm yet? Mine looked great at first too but after a few cycles the edges started lifting on the darker fabric. Just saying, give it a month before you call it perfect.

Wait, isn't the smooth side supposed to go up against the flooring to help the LVP lock together better? Or am I the one who's been doing it wrong this whole time?

Man @wren307, my buddy tried that same thing and his pole pruner snapped clean in half on the first branch.

The real issue might be that Phoenix concrete cures so fast in direct sun that even the right release agent would've been fighting a losing battle unless you worked at night.
