Try a really low setting on an iron and place a towel over the top of the
artwork. This might help soften the glue a little and make the pieces more
flexible. Then quickly set them under heavy boxes or books. Good luck!

Subject: help - curly collages!
Dear list,
I need ideas on how to flatten out some portrait collages my classes
made using 60 # drawing paper, elmer's glue, and pieces of magazine
pages. I would like to mat them, but right now they're so
curly/bumpy/warped it's not realistic. Thanks in advance!
