In the past, I have used the sticky side of a spacer to remove the unnoticed lint and dust specks from the mat of a partially sealed mat package. I would open a side and then spread the package enough to reach in and pluck the little boogers out with a thin spacer.
The other day I discovered a tool that works better then the spacer. A long thin painting knife. I had just used the painting knife to separate a double mat and it had a little bit of atg stuck to it. The atg had lost most of it's tack, but still picked up the speck with ease.
I was in and out of the mat in no time.
