So I had a nasty flood a month back. All my custom terrain plates for my 8x4 table were ruined but 4.
One of them has a massive area filled with resin/varnish. It's begun to warp up on the sides.
It's a beautiful piece of terrain but the warp age is killing me. Is there any hope of a fix? If so please leave advice below. Thanks! |

It's hard to see the severity from the photos but it doesn't look good. My best advice would be to weight the edges of the board and put it in a warm dry location for a week or so. You might get a little relaxation. |

maybe remounting the lot on new tiles, nail it down plus use adhesives. |

Once something's warped I think you're prettymuch screwed. I did hear recently that if you put a coat of Bostik/UHU type glue down on your base and let that dry before you start that will prevent warp but I've not had a chance to try it myself. |

it the base is foamcore, you can use g;ue a sheet of printer paper to the botto, of it using white glue to reverse the warping.
goodluck! |
