It should, Retro. In fact I recently "rescued" a complete newspaper from 1941 which had been scrunched up and used for in between wall insulation! I carefully placed the entire unfolded paper on a firm surface and left it in the bathroom after taking two or three really hot showers and letting the steam stay in the room. I then placed weights evenly upon the paper (after removing from the bathroom) and left it for a few days, and then used the iron and parchment...Experiment first!
