   Generally speaking, if plywood gets wet, it delaminates.

   If its warped due to moisture, your best bet is to expose the convex side to the sun on a dry day. Watch it until it flattens out.

   On the other hand, if its bent because it was not stored flat, you're probably gonna be disappointed.

   Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be disappointed as you said.Jim

   Jim,

   Keep that chin up.  Most plywood I use is somehow braced with solid wood in a way that keeps it flat.  I'm sure that in its final resting place, it could be pulled flat and kept that way.  On the other hand, if you're looking for an excuse to take a few hours off, put the plywood on the lawn convex side down, get a few drinks, pull up a chair, and call yourself busy working.Chris @ http://www.flairwoodwork.spaces.live.com

   Chris:Thanks, thats basically what I did. I cut it to size, placed it in the frame, put a brick in the middle and watched the olympics. All went reasonably well.
   Thanks again.Jim
