CPUWIZ Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Got #6 today, great work, but being the stickler that I am, not so happy with the shipping (bubble mailer) and folding. I bet those creases will never go away. Looked like someone made a basketball out of the bubble mailer. But I am happy either way, maybe I'll go Yurkie on it a little. @Barb: My wife said, nice work (she is a perfectionist)! She also commented on the creases, due to shipping and packaging though, I think her exact words were "Wow, that's nice, now they just need to figure out how to ship them flat in some way.".

+wood_jl Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I don't know specifically about these vinyl covers, but others I've ordered used (ebay, etc.) that had creases in it - I put them in the clothes dryer for a short period of time, mind you. I pre-heated the dryer empty - until it was good and hot - and then opened it and threw in the cover, and I only left it in there for 30 seconds or a minute (or something like that). It came out "all hot and soft" (that's what she said ) and the wrinkles all disappeared. You might experiment with that, but you wouldn't want it in there long enough to get really hot.

Trebor Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Place the dust cover on a flat table or ironing board, throw a towel over the cover, and iron the towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've found that just placing it over the 7800 (and same with my JagCD cover) and the wrinkles work themselves out as the material relaxes over the console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjd Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 The material is actually quite flexible.You should see what it looks like on the rolls I buy. Ordinarily,just letting it lay flat for a period of time,or as noted above installing them on the console will let them straighten out,using an iron as suggested would only be a consideration if you are in a real big hurry.

No worries, I just think it is a gamble to ship stuff like this in a bubble mailer (without cardboard slabs), because you never know who is into playing games with the package. Mine was crumpled. I'll leave it permanently installed on one of my 5 systems. Maybe Yurkie it a little, while it's on, it's a great piece. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjd Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ok,I give. What is this Yurkie thing you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 ABOUT THE DRYER THING: Forgot to say - after I take it (warm) out of the dryer, immediately put it on the console/computer (for which it fits) and as it cools, it kind of perfectly forms to the thing.

FireTiger Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Ok,I give. What is this Yurkie thing you speak of? It's a long story, the gist of it is he couldn't have any cornflakes (sell currently protected modern roms -CDs) and decided to piss on everyone else's (not currently protected retro rom 7800 carts) cornflakes.
