: How in the world do you fold that thing
: up so it goes back into a 30" circle?

: It's frustrating!

: I can fold up large band saw blades

: I can't get this thing back into a circle!

quoted from elsewhere:
1. Hold the reflector/background by opposite corners and fold it to where
the corners touch.
2. Holding the reflector/background by the corners you just brought
together, you will see two ends hanging down. Hold one of the ends up
against your waist and pull the end farthest from you up toward your waste
and hold it there.
3. Now pull up the end near you underneath the end you previously
pulled up. While you are doing this, you are going to have to let go of
the original two corners you were holding together, and they will fold
over each other.
4. You will have to even out the folded sections to get it to fit in
the case.
With some practice, you can get this technique down.
or maybe thew youtube vid will help ;)
