I’m almost certain thats pure polyester and will melt if you iron it.
I believe you can put a damp towel over it to mitigate and disperse the heat.
I have a shower curtain that is made of material like I assume this is and I have never been able to get the creases out since I have it about 5 years. I didn’t try ironing it because I am also certain it would melt no matter how careful I was.
I have tried washing it in hot/cold water, tumble drying, hanging dry etc. And it spends 100% of life hanging in a poorly ventilated bathroom. So 100s of steamings.
OTOH I can recommend, if you would benefit from a large world map in your home but don’t have a whole wall to spare, shower curtain world map comes in very handy.
something under 290 deg F shoumd be fine.
Polyester flags in general should be banned. Absolutely disgusting fabric.
monogomyester isnt right for some flags, let them be poly its not your business smh
Low effort (flag) post
* Flagged
The post looks totally adequate. Good heavy base. Flared for stability.
Did not work. I would like a refund.
No refunds!

Not ironing flags is queer culture
having an iron is bourgeois
I just heat up a frying pan. I had an iron, but lost it in the move, so frying pan it is.
The real proletarians let their shit hang outside while they shower
a true proletarian irons their flag with their forehead using the heat their brain emits from their skull after reading theory (listening to podcasts) and educating their fellow workers (bullying r/politics liberals on reddit from an hour old account as their main one is currently banned) on matters pertaining to class struggle
of course bernie sanders doesnt iron his flag. he’s never even been on reddit.
Anyone preoccupied with flags is weird to me.
Best I can do is tumble dry
Toss a damp towel in with it.
Ever just hold a pair of underwear under the tap and toss it in as godd 'nuff?
Lmao, of course
But Melina, I don’t own an iron
What if I’m just going to burn the flag?
: 
Iron country/political/etc flags, sure.
Don’t iron queer flags
Don’t iron queer flags
straightening lgbt flags is queerphobia
What do I support trans rights or a game of checkers
Why impose your traditional standards of beauty on chad wrinkly pride flag havers? 😎 Open your mind. I will iron my pride flag.
While folded up, to add the wrinkles back
It’s not wrinkly though that’s the problem. It’s the fact it looks how it was packaged and those aren’t natural creases those are creases from being in a piece of plastic for a few months.
The traditional way to fly a trans flag is with creases!
i love the symbolism of leaving the creases in, but the sloppy grid pattern bothers me soooo much. need a queer flag code to specify some aesthetically pleasing creases
they need to be shipped to us crumpled up instead of folded so the lines aren’t straight
Symbolism?
[imagine a picture of a smooth, ironed pride flag]
flag expert here, they only do this when they’re very distressed!!!
I’ll begin the incoming struggle sesh about indoor vs. outdoor flags: if you’re cold, they’re cold
I, too, am an iron your flag person. I have heard some people deliberately do not for some symbolic reason but I can’t remember what it is.
the norms around ironing clothes (and by extension owning an iron at all) are classist and i assume racist
Fellas, is it bourgeois to own an iron
Yes
:(
Ok well not owning a $10 Target iron, but the norms are classist. Before electricity, clothes irons were just hot pieces of iron with a handle heated by a fire (later with a hole to put in hot bricks/etc to avoid soot on the flat face). Heavy and a huge pain in the ass. Servants would do it because no normal person would want to spend time ironing unless they were coerced. A lot of cleaning norms are this way: it used to be that only rich people could afford servants to handwash all their clothes after each wash, and then we invented labor aids (washing machines, clothes irons, etc) that ended up just increasing the amount of housework to be done, so that it’d take up the same amount of time.
I’m still ironing my flags though. It’s not like they wrinkle once they’re put up, it’s a one-time thing
Solidarity with closeted people who have their flags folded hidden away
I like it unironed sometimes, I think it’s more casual and inviting.
This had the potential to be the greatest struggle session in Hexbear history, I am disappoint
i saw a post years ago that was about how ironing was actually very bad for pride flags. i assume it was mocking this sort of behavior but idk
