Had a D'oh moment today, decided to finish boarding some walls we started last week but then remembered we'd left the boards leaning against a wall. Needless to say I have a collection of curved boards
I've laid them out flat in the hope they'll straighten out. Just wondered if anyone else had been daft enough to do this and whether the boards flattened and if so what sort of timeframe.

Are these the ones you are gluing to the walls? How thick?

Nah, lean them against the wall the opposite way :-) (no really . . . )
If you have the time, leave it 24hrs but I wouldn't sweat too much about just slapping them up, provided they're being screwed to studs that is, which is the only way I ever fit them.
These are 12.5mm, attaching with foam so need them straight.

Istr 'your' method of attachment involved lots of screws too? Will they not bend & hold them straight enough til the glue sets? How bent are they?
