Default mirror flash ,,,,sorry
i have a few hanks of this in one of my boxes , but the thing is Ive noticed its got a little twisted and curled and was wondering if their are any ways of straightening out this sort of material , ,,,Ive tried a low heat iron in-between two pieces of tracing paper which has worked not too bad but is their any other ideas for straightening out these sort of materials ,or is it really just down to better storage of materials that i am needing to address.

Dont know about the mirror flash but holding a crushed feather in the steam of a kettle will sort it out quick style. Would probably melt your tinsel though

Never tried it myself so can't be held responsible!!
