Top tip Pete - first one I tried it on is now approx 6 inches across with more creases than an unironed shirt - then I realised I'd knocked the temperature up to cotton tried it again on another one on a cool setting and while not perfect is deffo an improvement and as they say is now "fine for DJ'ing " wouldn't recommend it on anything too pricey though unless it is a last resort Cheers Mate!
