I have some straps for bike rear carriers (Dutch bikes) which have become
over stretched.
Now I remember in the old days that belt drive turntables used to suffer
from stretched belts, and a fix was to put the belt in boiling water so that
it shrank back to the original size.
I have Googled without much success; well
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_shrink_elastic
refers you to
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_elastic_shrink
which answers 'Yes' - accurate perhaps but not very helpful.
So has anyone shrunk elsticated fabric by putting it in very hot water?
I am looking to shrink the fabric back to the original length and restore
the elasticity if possible.
Cheers
Dave R
