my new roller blind has curled on the vertical sides because i sprayed them with a deoderiser. How do i flatten these edges without making more mess?

I have stiffened material to make roller blinds.

I mixed white PVA (woodworkers) glue with water - I used a bucket and made a 3 - 1 mix of Water:Glue. Put mix in bath and dip blind. Hang on washing line to dry.

If it were my blind I would spray all of it to get the same lack of stiffness all over.

The dipping process is not messy if done in a bath - the carrying to the washing line process is another matter.
