question about uncert lite fabric

[Tree top pilot 13]

I have to recover some of my tail surfaces and have found a stash of fabric in a duffel bag in my parts bay. Its a bit wrinkled...OK a lot. You think it would be safe to use? I am not sure if it will iron smooth...guess have to try and see. Last batch I got in was folded from ACS....but not balled up in a gunnysack like this. Hate to just throw out 4 yards of 1.7......Thanks in advance

Maybe identify best and worst pieces and do a sample. A heat gun can shrink a lot of sins out!  Good luck

You might try to iron out the wrinkels with the iron set at no more than 200 F.  You don't want to shrink the fabric before you install it. That will start to happen at 225-250 F.  It should stretch tight when it's installed and ironed, just maybe a pain to get it glued down with it all wrinkely.  Jim Chuk
