I have the Everybody Everybody poster, but I cannot get it to straighten out. It keeps rolling up at the left and right edges. I have tried putting heavy books on the sides, but this doesn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the poster flat?
Cheers.

Roll it backwards. What I mean by this is roll it so that the picture is showing on the outsides. Hold it like that for a while, like, five minutes, and put it down. It should be ok.

Nope, still doing it.

Do it for longer, say, ten or twenty minutes. Watch TV while holding it. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell ya.

Well, you could try to lay it on the floor or table and cover it with something large and heavy. You know, so it's covered completely. And leave it like that over night so the pressure can work on it. If that doesn't help, maybe you should just buy a frame. (I have to get one myself. I was smart enough to buy the poster and be half through fixing it to the wall before I remembered that ingrain wallpaper is not the best background material for a poster. Fortunately I removed it before the pattern had left too many marks).

It has seemed to work slightly, but the problem is still persisting.

I've tried this too, but it doesn't work. I don't understand what the problem with the poster is!

Thanks for the suggestions

One last-ditch effort: roll it backwards, put a rubber band around it, and let it sit for a few hours.

That's what I did the first time, except not for hours. I'll have another shot at it.
