    Default Back insert of game warped due to water! HELP ME FIX!

    My Panzer Dragoon Saga's (YES! PANZER DRAGOON SAGA) back insert has been warped due to exposure to water. Is there a way I can fix this and straighten it out? Thanks.

    I haven't tried this but moist it evenly with a spray bottle, straighten it, slip it between two sheets of baking paper and put under a heavy weight?
    Maybe you should test it with a less valuable game first.

    That's what I do in that situation, its about the only thing you can do, you could also scan in the warped insert, edit it to your liking and print it out if you happen to somehow ruin the original. But the get it wet again trick works wonders on warped paper due to water damage.

    I have heard of people dampening the paper and then putting them between two books with a LOT of weight on top. I have no experience doing this, however.

    Practice this with some useless backings or regular paper before you try the good one to get the hang of it, but if you don't want to wait for the books to work you can lightly mist it and then use a clothes iron to flatten it out again.

    Just make sure you use flat, even pressure, move slowly but don't let it be still for even a split second, and put it on MEDIUM heat.

    ive fixed saturn inserts before by carefully running them under a little water, and then stacking like 100 pounds of books on them and then letting it sit for a week.
