Well here is where you start ...reversing mother nature. the example you see was exposed to 30 years of rain in the State of Washington. the bottom of the passanger side door card stuck out about 5 inches from warping...it takes about a week or more to get results. I want to keep the door cards with all the patina attached.Ill keep adding pictures so you can see the progress. tools needed wet towels and heavy things and 4 x 4 pieces of wood to hold the card up off the ground.keep the panel wet where you want to control the shape..I have towels under the weight so I can wet them like a sponge... they hold lots of water for a long time. rather than moving the weights all the time just keep the towels wet it will soften the pressboard over time and the weight will stretch the vinyl on the other side ever so slowly ..so far you are looking at the second day .. The driver side is ok Leo |
