Introduction

This guide will assist you in flattening out your folded or wrinkly posters. After completing this guide your posters will be flatter and will be more pleasing to look at.

You can complete this fix with everyday household items as it is quick and simple.

This guide requires usage of an iron, so be careful of the heat.

Tools

Step 1

Open up the poster on a flat and clean surface and turn it over.

Step 2

Wet a paper towel and wring most of the water out.

Step 3

Fold the damp paper towel and use it to lightly moisten the folds.
Doing this relaxes the fibers in the paper.

Step 4

Turn on the iron, and switch it to the warm mode or the lowest temperature.
Make sure to not use the vapor or steam settings.

Step 5

While the iron is warming up, take out any medium to use as an interleaving sheet.
The medium for the interleaving sheet can be a piece of cloth/paper/tissue/towel...etc.
Don’t put your iron in direct contact with the poster.

Step 6

Put the interleaving sheet of your choice on the folds, and move the iron across the sheet and poster gently as you work on all the folds.
Repeat on the other side as necessary.

Step 7

The End! You get a flat poster now!
After this treatment, the poster will become very flat and most of the creases can be removed. But some physical damage brought by folding may be difficult to be completely erased.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
