I purchased the Frigates of EVE Special Edition book, and one of the goodies it came with was a poster of the Condor's blueprints printed on some sort of cloth material, although it doesn't feel like "normal" cloth - maybe some sort of weird fabric/plastic blend? I don't know. Is anyone out there able to tell me what this thing is made of, if it is safe to iron, or if they have had any other successes getting rid of the folds from shipping the poster.

Thanks o7

if you've got old textbooks, you can always try putting it between a couple and using the weight to smooth it out.

That's pretty much what we did to our blacklight posters back in the 1980s.

You could send the whole set to me and I'll flatten it for you! I'll even double it and send it back! Honest! Pirate

OK years ago my dad was left with myself and my 2 other brothers.

My nan showed me a trick to iron creases out of hard to iron clothing.

Set your iron to 2 so low heat

Get a clean tea towel and soak it and wring out the water so just damp. Place over the item your iron and gently place the iron over and run it around without using pressure like ironing your jeans
