Wet Lycras - No problem

[thomas]

Fancy going for a bike ride, but my longs are still a little damp from washing them earlier. Never mind I thought, let's give them a quick iron. That'll dry them out.

Start ironing...oh this is working well! Oh, wait. What's that smell? Plastic? oh. shiiiiieeettt.....perhaps this wasn't such a good idea!

I've now got a black/plastically iron with lycra longs which have had a layer of lycra removed. They're okay though.

haha. whooops

Guess I'll be going out in shorts

One thing is for sure, you won't be trying that method of drying any lycra clothes in the future. 这是愚蠢的 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I once went skiing for a weekend with friends then flew straight to Budapest for a week of business. Put my ski kit in to the hotel laundry for a wash and my polypropylene base layer came back with a huge iron-shaped burn on the sleeve and a very apologetic letter from Management. I could have got a new one out of them but didn't and in the end the top lasted me a good few years more.

It superheats the elastic and causes it to lose its collagen (sp?) and elasticity. Did you get floppy pants?

I would imagine so, yes.
