Working with Zero P

[timmyfitz 0]

I am working on a project using Zero P material. I am trying to make a fold in the material and get a sharp crease. I've tried an iron on different settings but not getting the results I'm looking for. As I look at my canopy/slider, I can see the folds are very sharp.

Any riggers have any suggestions?

Here is a method I use that works extremely well. First, I use a lighted table back lighting the material to ensure that I am folding the material excatly where I want. It can be done with out a lighted table but depending on the color of the material your using it may be just a bit tougher to see the rip stop lines. I also find using a 6" ruler is best for the job. Others may have their tool but for me the 6" ruler is the bomb
Once you have decided which line you want, make the fold and hold it in place with your thumb and index finger. Next lightly drag your ruler along the edge of the material where you want the fold, being careful not to damage the material. Imagine your folding a peice of paper. It's pretty much the same thing.
Make all the folds the same way paying special attention that all the folds on each side of the material are the same size and away you go.
Remember. Do not use too much presure with the ruler as you fold the material or you'll damage the new peice. Good luck

I have had best results using an iron set on low heat, maybe 1/3 ...
