Anyone tried this?

Using a towel or sheet over the top and bottom?

Gets out harness lumps right?

once stretched can't be ironed it'll just create a un-used condom pattern if you do it

Tried it the other week and it worked great. All you need is the iron on about medium heat, place the tea towel over the dent in the sail and a book underneath. Place the iron on the towel only and leave for about 10 to 15 secs. Keep checking your progress. If there is crease it will not come out, but a dent should.

Scope you'll need a sewing kit first and then you can iron it

Ah I see the problem: batten second from the bottom needs more tension.

Cool sticker though!

on a slightly related topic - Does anyone know any tips for removing old (other peoples) sail numbers from 2nd hand sails.

I feel like a sail thief looking for some tips

Use a citris cleaner. It loosen ups and gets rid of the glue. Great for all kinds of stickers.
