Warped Jacket?

[Zaimejs]

I just got a copy of U2's The Joshua Tree. The vinyl is fine, but apparently the jacket and sleeves got wet, so they are functional but ugly... rippled. Is there anyway to get the ripples out of cardboard? I tried a cool iron... but I didn't want to damage the cardboard. I was thinking of misting the cardboard and then ironing it like a wrinkled pair of pants.

Any ideas? I used to iron $1 bills when I was a kid... loved the crispness of them.

It is worth a try, but not with a cool iron.
Let us know how it works.

Cheers,

Try a warmer iron, on the dampened jacket (maybe a damp cloth rather than a mister?), with a sheet of clean paper between the iron and the jacket so the iron is not in direct contact.

Try a back corner first and see how it does, and make sure no ink transfers to the clean top paper you are using. If it looks good, go!

I'd not use the inner sleeve in any condition. I use the MoFi Original Master sleeves but save the original jacket if it has lyrics and/or art I want to keep. Plain ones get tossed.
