I have a number of Luan/Meranti cabinet doors in my kitchen, one of which has warped quite badly. They were made by a firm called Chindwell who have discontinued the range - so I can't buy a replacement. Please can anyone suggest a way of getting the twist out?
TIA, Nick.
I had the same last week on a kitchen I had fitted - one mdf door, hiding a boiler. Warped like a banana. I've got the new door here now, I plan to stick a sheet of 12mm ply on the back of it, with a few screws into it as well. Not sure whether to use silicone, or wood glue to stick it. Either way, it'll add a lot of strength to the door, so shouldnt warp again. If you can get yours flat by clamping it, then the same thing may work with yours. Alan.
Take it to a place that strips doors of paint and get them to sort it. Steam, caustic etc etc
Angle grinder.
Takin' tips off The Medway Handyman now Frank?
I see that he's doin' an article in the "Wiki thingy" on sawboards - I bet he made them using the proverbial "angle grinder" ;-)

Oh do FOAD Tanner Op, or whatever your current troll name is.
Thanks. Someone else (off group) has suggested this. I'll give it a try.
Nick.
