How To Get Creases Out Of Leatherette Vinyl

[mrbounce]

I have got myself some leatherette vinyl for covering my dash top I have made for the Midas.

It's been folded for sending, so now has large creases in it. What's the easiest way to remove these?

Hang it in the bathroom while having a hot steamy shower? (Steady at the back there, I ain't pretty)

Heat gun? Hair dryer? (Must ask Mrs Bounce nicely)

Iron on low setting with wet cloth to avoid damage?

Never done trimming so any guidance gratefully received! Note I do not have a steamer.

Leave it flat somewhere warm (ISH)

I would opt for the luke warm iron option with a thin cotton tea towel, gradually raise the temp, but face down on hard surface not spongy ironing board.

Like dodgerover suggests, the easy way is to just leave it laid out flat in a sunny spot for a day or three, it should just relax out of its own accord since it's new. Moisture doesn't help that much since it won't behave like leather as it's effectively plastic and so moisture resistant. Dry heat can be a problem too, so don't press with an iron unless you absolutely have to and if you do press, ck28's suggestion is spot on.
