Yes. I used GooGOne and scraped the old off. Then I had to wash with plenty of dishwashing liquid and warm water. I washed it twice (the GooGone leaves an oily feel and you don't want that still on there) and then let it dry. Then I cut the ReNu sheets (while still in the "sandwich") to fit the mat. Peel one of the sheets off a little. See if the "dots" are on it or not. The sheet without the dots, peel back a little leaving one edge to place and line up with your mat. Then slowly peel the rest away and lay on your mat. Sort of like working with vinyl. Anyway, when you have the sheet with the dots on it completely flat on your mat, take something like a credit card and scrape it on top of the sheet. This will insure that all the dots adhere to the mat. Slowly peel up the sheet, while making sure the dots are all adhereing and not leaving any blank spots. It's so easy and fast.
You will find that when you put your hand on your new sticky mat, it won't feel sticky and will wonder if anything would stick to it. This is normal. It just does not feel tacky. But put a piece of paper or something on it, and it will have a good bond. When you peel up the paper, it will come off so nicely. No more fighting the paper to come off or even slowly trying to peel it off.
