I don't know of any good way to solve this 100%... just give it a good stretch is my best recommendation.

don't fold it next time, roll it up around a cardboard tube
can stretch it tight, but it may rip

kk, ty guys, it came all folded up in the mail so thats why, i might *roll it up*(<--lol) and leave it for a while and see what happens.

Iron it? No! not really. Here's an idea if you have some experience in a carpenters shop. Get some 1/8" hard board and cut it to the shape you want your mylar. Roll some flash adhesive onto the hard board and then have a buddy help you lay the mylar out onto the hardboard so it's stretched nice and tight over the hard board. Then use a cold press hand laminate roller to roll it on good and tight from the center out and press out any creases.

I've found that 2-way tape helps. And having someone help too.
