Silkspan for sails


Recommended Posts

I have a packet of 'silkspan' from a Bluejacket kit. Nice material but they folded it into a plastic bag rather than rolling it into a tube. I'd appreciate any tips/suggestions for ways to get the crease out of the material. I've tried using a dry iron as well as misting some water on it prior to ironing all to no avail. The folded squares are too small tp cut panels between or around the folds

You will need to soak and stretch the material on a frame to get the creases out. As it dries, the material tautens and it will flatten.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv
