	You are not going to be able to get rid of all of the wrinkles no matter what you do. You mount these things by stitching in a grid pattern all over in about 1"-1 1/2" squares to give it over all support. Hide the stitches well. It won't be an easy job, but can be done. I have. As you stitch, pull gently, and stretch a little as you go. This will get most of the wrinkles out. Don't even think about ironing it. This will just make matters worse. Hope this helps.
