I only need one of the Cooling Sheets in the package. What should I do with the other one?

Can I reuse Extend-A-Cool?

The Mesh Wrap can be reused. Washing by hand is recommended if needed. The Cooling Sheet cannot be reused after the initial six to seven hours of use. However, if you need to use the product only for a few hours, you can reuse it later as long as it has been handled properly. Remove the product from the horse and cover the gel side with the clear cellophane cover from the original packaging. Then place the product in a plastic bag that can be resealed, and make sure the bag is sealed to protect the product from drying out. The product should stay usable for several weeks.

Can I put a boot or a wrap over Extend-A-Cool?
