I bought a 4x8 3/4" sheet of PerformPly. Birch face, 11 plies.
It looked pretty flat when I bought it. Ripped it into 3 strips, 16"x96" So I could have 3 pieces of 1/4" mirror attached to it.
Now that it has been ripped it is obvious the pieces are bowed 1/4" over the 96" length. If a mirror is mounted to it I think its going to look like a fun house mirror.
My question is: Can I use my track saw to cut 1/8" or 1/4" deep grooves spaced 6-12" apart starting in the center and working out towards the ends for a distance of say, 3' and will this relieve some stress allowing the wood to relax and flatten?
I hope my explanation makes sense.
The darn sheet was $160 so I hate to waste it.
TIA
