Have you ever bought a complete game and when you open it you see the manual have been folded for years? How do you press them back so they get flat again?

I recently had this problem with 3 manuals. Right now im pressing the manuals with books (about 100 lbs). They have been laying there for about 24 hours, but they still arent flat. Sure, it helped alittle, but still far from flat. What to do?

Yeah, I've ran into this problem. I think it's safe to say you will never get the fold out completely. Good luck with that.

Using a non-steam iron usually gets creases out to an extent. I'm not sure what kind of damage it would do to the ink in glossy manuals, though. You could try it on a magazine first.

Make sure not to use steam.

Put a towel over the manual and then iron it. I used that to get the folds out of my homework :D

That towel tip actually worked great on 1 manual :)
Didnt work that great on the 2 others tho. Thanks for the help!

24 hours isn't enough time to do the pressure trick to flatten them, wait a few days or weeks. As for creases, those are just about impossible to remove 100%
