Default wing warp, how do I fix it??

Originally posted by OUTCAST
I've had some good success with the following, SATURATE the wing with a 80/20 mix of water and alcohol {I use the bath tub and hold it under for about 5 min}, rubber band the wing to a sheet of plywood bent in the opposite direction just a LITTLE past straight. Use finishing nails to hold the rubber bands and balsa blocks on .........
glues except white carpenter types. This was taught to me by my uncle, he used to make, believe it or not, coo-coo clocks. :^)
I've used ammonia as well, spraying both sides, but more heavily soaking the side that needs to expand. Then hold like OUTCAST says. I've used ziplock bags full of sand to weight it down on a flat table. It may take a couple of iterations.
