Default Don't fall into the trap...

Just a note to share a recent experience which may save others from making the same mistake. I had a piece of speaker cloth saved from a scrap set which had been stored in the workshop for a number of years. I needed some for a home constructed set and cut it to the correct size. As it had one or two minor rucks in it I thought I would iron it on a cool setting, sandwiched between two sheets of kitchen roll. That worked and I was left with a nice smooth cloth. Unfortunately it had shrank a little and would no longer fit. Luckily I had just enough left to do the job, which I ironed first before cutting to size. I suspect the cloth had some kind of plastic weave mixed in but it wasn't obvious (to me anyway).
Alan.
