It's all gone now. The PigMat has also trapped some gunk too. I'm thinking I might run an experiment in my pool and put a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the surface and throw the PigMat near it to see how it does. My biggest problem is this - Extra Virgin Olive Oil or plain old canola oil? I have some Habanero-Lime infused olive oil as well but I'm afraid that might cause some eye irritation

Actually, if anyone has any experience with those "enzyme" concoctions (FirstAid for Pools, etc), I'd love to hear any advice on those.
