Quick answer
Set up your World At War 85 Storming the Gap Premium Canvas Map by unrolling it gently and letting it flatten under weight. Clean with a damp cloth and store rolled loosely to avoid creases.
Why a canvas map is different from a paper map
The Premium Canvas Map is printed on tear-resistant, water-resistant canvas paper that wipes clean. Unlike standard paper maps, it won't tear at the folds and can handle light spills. But because it's thicker, it may arrive rolled tightly and need extra patience to lay flat.
How to set up and care for your canvas map
- Unroll and inspect: Remove the map from its tube and gently unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Check for any shipping damage or curling. Common mistake: pulling the map out too quickly can cause creases. Unroll slowly.
- Flatten the map: Place heavy books or a flat board on the corners and center. Leave it for a few hours or overnight until it lies completely flat. Do not use an iron or hair dryer — heat can warp the canvas coating.
- Play and clean: Place the map on your table and play as usual. After the session, wipe off any dirt or spills with a slightly damp cloth. Let it air dry completely before storing. Avoid scrubbing hard; the water-resistant coating is durable but abrasive cleaners can damage it.
- Store properly: Roll the map loosely (not tight) with the printed side facing outward. Place it back in the tube or a wide cardboard tube. Never fold it. Storing it tightly can create permanent curl lines. A loose roll preserves the flat finish.
