[QUOTE="gustie, post: 24124, member: 153"] i thought id post this since i seen a few scabby looking vynil capes out there including my own ben cape coco some of urs could do with this.... here is a picture before [ATTACH=full]108379[/ATTACH] and here is a picture after.... [ATTACH=full]108380[/ATTACH] impressive for about 5mins work i thought :) what u need is... 1 jug of boiling water 1 large pan of cold water 1 very flat surface (i used the bottom of a round baking tin) this particular cape had very badly creased up under the "armpits" and looked ready to rip so i thought what the hell try it.... I held the cape "armpits" down in the steaming water for about 3 or 4 seconds then placed it carefully on the smooth surface, since the cape started to roll up abit since it was been heated. rub it flat gently, then use the pan of cold water to literally place on top to squash it flat. I left it for a bit then re did it holding it flat the other way. as u can see it has removed the creases nicely. one more thing which suprised me some.... the "armpit" creases had also fixed themselves and it fits the figure nice and snug again :) worked good and figure still has original cape and looks one C better :) [/QUOTE]
