GotSuperPowers? Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi Folks, I have a piece of art that had a bit of a rough journey in getting to me (it didn't like the flimsy cardboard envelope it was slipped in to). It's got some creases as a result, but not horrific ones, and they're mostly visible from the back. Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with them? It's india ink, hand lettered (no glued on balloons). I don't think weight will be enough to resolve it. A towel and then a medium heat iron? Something else? Thanks for any suggestions that come my way. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, giving that a whirl, thank you. For a week? A month? I imagine if it's not improved, or only minimally improved after a month, then that's as good as it's going to get that weight.

comiconxion Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Send to a restorer? They typically have professional presses and can take out the creases so they aren't noticeable. In the scheme of things, pressing isn't too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found a piece I was doing that to that I forgot about...it was about a year ago that I left it between the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
