Bent foam, help!
Hi there. I had just aquired some 3mm depron foam to make a flying boat and have already cut out the templates. When I recieved this foam, it had a slight curve in the sheets. I currently got it under weight but am wondering if anyone here may have another solution as to getting the warps out. I think much will be fine, but am more concerned of the deck/hull area as the rest has a lot of interlocking tabs. Thanks in advance.

Soak it in very warm water- not hot, but warm for 15-20 minutes and then lay it back out on a flat surface weighted and give it a day.
Or option 2- set it in the sun on a flat surface for a day or two, either way it's the slow heat that shapes it back.
I wouldn't suggest a heat gun/hair dryer it may do some damage if you get too close.
