Is anyone using this for their bases? I'm just concerned that it may warp when the glue dries since it is so thin. Has anyone had this problem with these particular bases? Thanks. |

I've used their .8mm plywood bases and never experienced warping. I don't know if it could be a problem with larger surface areas, as I've mostly used smaller ones. The largest I've used were 30mm circles. Still no problem there. |

Used them extensively in combination with their magnetic bases. No problems. |

I use up to 30mm circles. No issues at all! |

I've never had any issues. |

As above no problems except slight warping with 60mm circular base. Glue used was Super Glue Gel and paint was acrylic. The climate here is humid so anything that will warp does so. Oval bases to mount 28mm animals have not warped. Neither have 30mm and 40mm round bases. Scenery items were glued with Contact Cement and painted with acrylics. |

I have a custom size made for me – 23mm round. I add the magnetic base and from that point on the base stays on a metal surface. I stick the figure on with epoxy glue. I cover the entire surface of the base with it, to ensure that no moisture from the filler that I use to build up the base, can penetrate the wood. No warping in nearly ten years. However, I use 0.8mm steel bases for my multi-figure basing. If you want to use the 0.8mm ply then I'd do some material tests to make sure that they are stable. In the UK there is a DIY liquid product to fill voids in wood to stabilise rot. I've always wondered if this could be used to stabilise new ply effectively. I think it's the modern equivalent of phenolic resin. |

I use them but also attach the 0.8mm flex steel adhesive bases to the bottom. With that arrangement, I've not had any warpage, even here in humid central Mississippi. Jim |

Minimal if any and absolute fine tradeoff for the low profile on the table. My Romans are on 3mm thick wood, the Normans went 1 or 1.5 with Litko and the Vikings are Litko 0.6mm with magnet adhesive, the Vikings look the best! |

I'm using them for my 20mm WWII with no issues. |

30x60mm ones I used show about 1mm of warping, but overtime with the magnetic strip and sitting on sheet metal, they seem to flatten out |

I have decided that I will stick with the 3mm thick plywood. I know that it will not warp. |
takes another stab at building a more perfect flight stand.
