[QUOTE="NOS, post: 4976693, member: 2098"]Ironing is effective at smoothing out creases or wrinkles but it is best to avoid the practice. I toyed with ironing notes for a time around 10 years ago. Here is one such example: [ATTACH=full]1195868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1195869[/ATTACH] Burn marks can be seen on the front and back from where the iron either became too hot or was placed on the note for too long. Ironing will also flatten the embossing on more crisp notes. If you wish to flatten creases or wrinkles in notes, place them inside of a heavy book like an encyclopedia or some such and let it sit for a few weeks.
