Does anyone have any suggestions on getting a roll of lauhala matting to unroll and lie flat. I have a 3' x 6' panel that I use as a single piece when I Tiki out, but I have the devil of a time getting it to remain flat, and that puts a stress on the non-permanent mounting method I use. Is there a simple way to get this stuff to give up its permanent wave?

Here's a pic of how I have it across the front of my bar:

If you are interested in the overall effect, here's a post about what things looked like last year during Tiki Month. I just want to get things perfect this time around.
