Charlie shows what's involved in flattening a road map for framing. It's easy and takes just a few minutes! Our viewers have used this technique on a variety of items from posters to diplomas with success. We hope that this video helps you with your flattening needs. Please like and subscribe.

Link to our "Tips for Framing" blog mentioned in the video:

Flattening a map or poster for framing is a simple process.

1. Open up the map on a flat surface.
2. Take a damp paper towel and lightly wet the folds. (This relaxes the paper fibers.)
3. Using a blank piece of paper as an interleaving sheet so the iron doesn't come into direct contact with your map, iron the folds.

Found my way here looking for a way to flatten my BattleTech (tabletop wargame) poster maps. This gentleman's enthusiasm for ironing maps is very wholesome and genuine. :)

Just what I needed 👍🏻. I've been wanting to frame a 69' National Geographic Earth's moon & 73' Mars posters. They've been folded for 50+ years so this video will help.
