coco fiber basket liner for background

[martini]

So i have seen people say they use this stuff for the backgrounds of their viv's. Is there anything I need to do to this stuff before I apply it to the background. I thought I read something about soaking it in hot water beforehand. Any help on this I would greatly appreciate.

not that i know of. as far as i'm concerned the only reason for hot water would be to leach tannins out which shouldn't be too necessary for basket liners afaik.

I though I had read something about salt content being high in some of them. I would just give it a good warm water soak and let it dry again to be safe.
