Backdrop creases

[parker455]

Folks,


Bought a studio backdrop kit online the other day, the backdrop however has turned up with a fair few creases. How do I go about getting rid of these?
The material is a mesh-like breathable material, somewhat like the black stuff you put down in flower beds. I was thinking ironing them out, but I can't be doing this every time it's used.

Any suggestions are muchly appreciated.


Thanks guys!

You need one of them iRon devices.

if you do iron it make sure you use a t-towel in between the iron and back drop as it will melt the back drop. I have a black one and it's a pain tbh hoping to replace it soon with a paper roll

ive heard hanging it up for a day or so will sort it but dont know if its true or not

I was thinking that, shame i payed so much for it really, i only actually needed the strut to hang it on, i've not got a surplus of light stands too..

Might give this a shot, i heard rolling them up tight sorted them too? Not sure, i gave up earlier.

I use a steam thingy, can't remember what its called, was cheap ebay jobby. Just hang you background up as normal and go over it with that, a 3m cloth takes about 20mins.

Steamy thing
