We had a little water crisis in the basement, and a walnut silverware chest wound up sitting on wet carpet for at least a couple days. The chest is box joint corner construction and the bottom is a panel made from three edge glued pieces that were subsequently glued to the bottom of the box frame. Most of the glue joint between the bottom panel and the chest frame let go, and the panel curled up in a big way. All the edge glued joints are fine.
Is it possible to flatten this out? I thought about a good long soak in hot water and then flat clamping between a couple of sink cutouts faced with laminate until it dries out. If the edge joints let go I can always re-glue.
Thoughts? Comments?
