I tried to tell John Okolowicz back when he started his grille cloth business that he shouldn't fold the cloth, but to ship it in tubes instead. He didn't listen. So the precedent was set, and RD continues the practice.
In my experience it is difficult to get those creases out at times. I think I've been lucky 98% of the time, though. I recall one piece of cloth, don't remember which pattern, I never could get the creases completely out. And another piece was ruined by my having the iron too hot - dumb mistake on my part.
If the cloth was shipped in tubes, that would eliminate the ironing factor, which (to me) would be a very good thing.
Now, if you want someone at Radio Daze to hear you, don't waste your time using the "Contact Us - General Inquiry" form on their site. If you want results, go straight to the top - contact Mike Slusser direct, mws@radiodaze.com . And be sure to thank him for bringing some of the cloth back, and thank him also for making (most) of the Philco decals period correct again! We're d**ned lucky to have Radio Daze as a vendor, because they are trying to give us things we need to get our old radios going again. Let Mike know you appreciate him - and Radio Daze!
Incidentally, Kenny Richmond does not fold his repro cloth for shipment.
