We have opaque canvas covers on the inside of the windows in our pilothouse - they’re attached with snaps at each corner or angle change so there are 4-6 snaps per cover. Sadly, we washed them over the winter (cold water and hung to dry) - when we tried reinstalling today, they’d shrunk significantly (about 1” short in all directions). Someone suggested soaking them for 30 mins in a mixture of (warm?) water and hair conditioner), wringing them out as best we can and then attempting to stretch/snap them in place to dry. Anyone had this issue and successfully re-stretched canvas to fit or is this a futile effort?
