Smoothing Out Oil Cloth

[silliemillie]

I am wanting to use a piece of oil cloth on a shelf, the trouble is that it's been folded in my cupboard for quite some time and now it has creases across it.

Normally I would iron any fabric I wanted to use but can I do that with oil cloth? It's a bit plasticy isn't it?

Maybe I could try ironing on the back? What does anyone think?

Look at the second paragraph on this link, silliemillie.

Ahh Thanks Tony, so my thought of ironing on the back was right. Will give it a tentative go.

Best of luck, silliemillie.
