Default Warped ply 1/4"

I know this must be a redundant question, but I could not find the answer. I know I,m not the first to ask? Anyway I have some flat stock that I am using for mounting airelon servos. The warp is with the grain. This stock is comprised of two sheets of 1/16 th ply epoxied together. Can I get the warp out and if so how? Thanks

A little more info needed...

First of all: 1/16 + 1/16 = 1/8 not 1/4

Second: how big is the piece you have and how small will you be cutting it?

Default 1/4" ply

Sorry I meant 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4. The piece I'm working with measures 2-1/4" x 7-1/4". I'm not sure that the warp will have any impact as the pieces I will be cutting are rather small and will not be in sight as they will be inside a hatch on the wing. Though they will have to stand up to some torque as I'm using them to mount airelon servos. The pieces will measure 1 1/2" x 7/8".
Thanks

As long as you can mount the servo on the wood a small warp will not matter. As long as it does not twist servo vase mounts, and you do not have problems instaling in wing. You can not change the warp when epoxied. IF warped to bad make new one better than having them come loose. Do it right now will not crash later.

If the warp is not too much, you could sand it flat.

I;m with RC Outlaw on this one. Pieces that small souldn't pose a problem.

Thanks all
I just purchased a new piece today and avoided a potential headache later.
