    Smile How to remove curl from a laminex sheet

    Hi everyone,

    I have bought couple of large Laminex sheets from ebay. They were stored rolled up. Now that I want to use the sheets, I find that they have a curl in them. They're just about impossible to work with. Does anybody know how to make them flat again???

    Roll them up the other way and leave them for a week or two. You may need to lay some strapping out, lay the sheets out over them, roll them up and strap them in place. An extra pair of hands would be good too.

    Thanks for your suggestion Mick,

    I thought of doing that way as well. It's a bit of a hit or miss approach though. I was hoping that there would be a more scientific method of available. A friend suggested that I putting a heat gun on it or soak it in water.

    So far, your idea is the best
