Removing The Wrinkles in the New Upolstry?
Hi guys, just got new Upolstry from Hawks.....The upolstry has wrinkles in it..They shipped the Upolstry folded....Is there any way to get rid of the folds and wrinkles??....Just put the Upolsrty on the bottom seat last night and have a few wrinkles you can still see...I pulled the material as tight as it could go........Would a hair dryer work ??..heat up the wrinkles???
Any ideas??

I used a Hawks set too. The Hampton vinyl. I very carefully used a heat gun on mine. It took alot of time and didnt get it all. After about a year now most of the wrinkles have disappeared.

Definatly steam. Use an iron to steam it or one of those home steamers that you see on infomercials
