Tips on how to iron bdu;s.

HAIRSPRAY??

That's one I haven't heard of...

I do know that hairspray works for inserting pages into military checklist binders-prevents the ink from sticking to the plastic when you remove it.

Ironing BDUs-JThemann is spot-on: don't make it any more complicated than it has to be.

Hairspray worked good when I used it. I'll still use it on my work shirts sometimes to keep the crease on my sleeve.

ok, heres what i do:
Take some StaFlo(has to be StaFlo)
Spray some liberally on the sleeve
fold the sleeve inside out
spray hairspray on the inside of the sleeve
reverse step three
take a piece of paper and lay it on the sleeve
take a iron on high heat and and iron the sleeve, keeping the paper between it and the sleeve
(trust me its perfectly safe)

I have never, ever gotten the dreaded "Starch Shine" with this technique

I just straight dry and hang up.  Had my days of ironing and starching

Not just a 4 year necro....but on a thread that only lasted three days in the first place before it got to the joke section!
