Hi all,

I seem to remember from the dim and distant past (early Seventies) that there was a way of unwarping warped ply, rather than what I used to do with the warped parts that came with all the Aerokits kits that I bought, which was to remake the offending part(s) from unwarped ply, which was both expensive to me at the time, and time consuming. After circumstance had put an end to my modelling, I came across a method of straightening warped ply, but I have absolutely no idea what that method was.

Can anybody help, please?

Hi John

I used a heat gun and then sat the item on a flat surface with heavy weight on it.
