It's important to keep the rolled time to a minimum. The dish should be
stored unrolled. If you keep a Telinga dish rolled up for several weeks, it=
can sometimes take a week to really regain its form. If you do this
inadvertently, you can sometimes rush the reforming process by warping the=
dish in the opposite direction and taping it there for a day or so.
Normally, if you have it rolled for only a few days, it regains its shape
within a few minutes. Slight mis-formation of the dish will affect the
performance only very slightly.
