Best way to straighten warped plywood?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Flinkly:
just to add to your situation, if you uise the wammoed way, you might gain your warp back over time, since it's just a temporary fix and you don't have much frame to speak of...

sorry to make things worse, just thought you'd like to know.  although your cab should stay pretty straight when you've got it all together.  notice that i said should.

Shape D.:
If you want it as flat as it will get you will need to get it wet and use clamps to hold it flat. the water will make the wood plyable and bend into shape. When it dries it will end up flatter.

MAKE SURE IT IS THUROGHLY DRY.

or else your screwed

Holy crap I suck at spelling.  I can tell its wrong but I don't know how to spell it right.

Gunstar Hero:
Fire. Spread the ashes out flat. Then buy new plywood.  :P

SirPoonga:
for the price of a sheet of plywood, I'd just buy a sheet instead of fix.  You could use the warped one to make smaller parts.  It's easier to straighten out smaller pieces of wood, at least in my experience.

Nocturnaloner:
So, just like Gunstar's suggestion then, but without the burning... ;)

I knew you guys would get down to fire eventually.

Seriously though, thanks for the help, I will let you know how it goes.
