how to get rid of silnyon wrinkles.

[DANIEL LIM]

I made a winter tarp for my hammock. I stuffed the tarp in a sack and when I got to camp and pulled it out, the tarp was all wrinkled. Is there a way to un-wrinkle silnylon?

[Brian Camprini]

Just don't poke a hole in the tarp with the needle.

You can iron it on a very and I mean very low setting but it will be wrinkled again the next time you pack it. Fabrics wrinkle when you pack them, has no affect on the use though.

[DANIEL LIM]

Let's say I iron it, should I store it in snake skins to limit the wrinkling?

[Ken Thompson]

Don't sweat the wrinkles. Snakeskins might help a little. But, really?

[Sam Farrington]

When silnylon is folder and rolled, it loses its wrinkles.
If left hanging on a line, the wrinkles remain.
Don't ask me why – maybe someone can explain it.

I've found a taut pitch to be more than adequate to smooth out the wrinkles…
