Reaching the end of a rather long and (probably needlessly) traumatic project (bookcases), I came to pretty much the final part - hanging a couple of doors - to find that one of them has warped slightly from corner to opposite corner. The doors are fairly thin (8-10mm) and solid. I tried clamping the door to a rigid board for a couple of weeks with a bit of cable underneath to try to remove this by warping it the other way. This worked well - for about 1/2 an hour, by which time the wood had reverted to its "original" state. Anyone any ideas how to get the wood to "remember" its shape whilst being clamped. I had thought of soaking the wood and clamping again while it dries off but really don't have any idea of effective timescales.:? Also wondered about some sort of steam treatment but don't reckon my kettle is really up to it!
Any suggestions most gratefully received!
