Thank you very much, Sir. Your video helped me finish my project. I was making a cabinet when I noticed that the plywood I've been using has a warped part to be used for doors. I followed your process and I noticed that all the boards straightened after a couple of hours. Simple and effective. So much satisfied to see a cabinet with flat doors.
You are welcome Cooper. It really does work but you need to use the ply soon after straightening it or it does revert back to being a little warped. Thanks for watching.
I’m going to go try this, thanks for making the video! I have half a 5 gallon bucket of primer I was drying out to throw but might save it just for a weight now.
That’s great P Siu ! One thing to remember when flattening plywood is that you need to use it soon after flattening it. It tends to go back slightly to that bent shape if it’s not used and fastened down. Thanks for watching.
I have a couple of shelves that was given to me, I noticed that they had a slight bow in them, they are shellacked with varnish. Do I have to take that off to make this method work?
Well maybe macreal65. Try spraying some water on them. If the water beads up on the plywood, that means it’s not soaking into the wood. Which helps to straighten the wood. If the water soaks in, you’re good to go. Else try lightly sanding to get some of the varnish off. Then spray with water. Good luck.
It will help Chris. Just make sure you use the ply shortly after you straighten it. I found that it doesn’t stay permanently flat if not used soon after. It will revert to somewhat a warped shape again. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I found that once it’s somewhat flat, you have to use it soon or it will revert back to the warped shape Mike. It doesn’t stay flat indefinitely. Hope that helps somewhat.
Thank you!!! Just what I needed for an expensive piece of plywood I had. Much appreciated!!!
You’re welcome ! Glad the video helped you.

Perfect use of that primer Tony ! Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching.

It is an easy, quick fix for warped plywood. Thanks for watching.
Thanks. I have a twisted ply and inset cabinet doors are not lining up. Any suggestions sir?

@@JayVisnansky thank you.
My cabinate door having both side laminated after few day of laminating it get bend how to fix that ?
Going to try to build a bookcase and some of my plywood is warped. Hoping this will help!

Would this work with a thicker and longer piece of wood
I’ve only tried this on plywood. But give it a try and let us know. Thanks.
Do you do the same thing for Luan . And if you can how do you keep it from doing it again
I’ve never tried Luan D B. If you do try it, let me know your results. Thanks.
Thank you. Will this work with pine too?
It should work on pine too. I’d give it a try on a sample piece so you’d know what to expect first. Good luck on your project. Thanks for watching.
Fair dinkum.
All I need now is a flat surface to do it on!
😂 ! Good luck on that. Thanks for watching.
Will your method work on 1/8" plywood also?
Sure would Eduardo !
Does it have to be in the heat?
No it doesn’t Alex but it helps.
I tried this 3 times and it doesn't not work, any other ideas?
I found that once it’s somewhat flat, you have to use it soon or it will revert back to the warped shape Mike. It doesn’t stay flat indefinitely. Hope that helps somewhat.
@@JayVisnansky Ah, that's an important point, good to know.

Thanks Jay.
