DA LITE 103" on an aluminum frame
I put it all together now what ? Wait ? heat ?

Give it a week on the frame before you do anything.

If it still has wrinkles after a week or so, you can try a hair dryer on low heat to warm the areas with the creases. DO NOT use a heat gun or even overheat it with the hair dryer because the damage will be permanent. You just want to warm it up a bit to relieve the tension. Keep the hair dryer moving and use large and small circles to evenly warm the screen, move to another area to let an area cool, then come back to it again.

Some guys have even used an iron wrapped in a towel, but I don't like to even touch the screen if possible.
