    • Asking for help on barrier Project

      1. Countertop is bowed

      2. Didn’t finish back side, so it may have finished cupping

      3. Tried wetting it and leaving it in the sun and it will flatten

      4. Suggestion was to take off finish and edges, then leave in sun with weights on top to flatten. Should slowly flatten off

      5. After flattening it, you may run it through wide belt sander to help cut it out

      6. Could also put battens on it at 90 degree angle to help keep it from bowing

      7. For next one, you could put a breadboard end on it. Search on YouTube for “breadboard” end
