Flattening plywood

Cancer Sucks
Any ideas how to flatten plywood? I've waited so long to put the doors on my stand, and have apparrently stored them improperly, they're slightly warped. One corner sticks out about 3/4 inch. I've thought about laying them flat in the garage and putting something heavy on them, but I'm not sure that would be sufficient.

BTW, they're still raw. No trim, no finish.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
IMO, toss em and get a new board. I did the same thing a couple months ago building my canopy and I layed them flat with lots of weight for a week trying to straighten them. It didnt work. I ended up buying another board and priming it ASAP.
 
Just a guess but if you were to wet the wood and then put something heavy on them out in the sun maybe this would work. If not you are were you started with buying new ones. Hope this helps. Maybe just a stupid idea
 
Yeah, I guess I'll probably have to buy another sheet. I would like to keep the ones I have since they're the pieces I cut out of the front skin so the grain matches. The front skin was a little crooked by the time I attached it, but that's no big deal. With that piece when you attach it, it pulls it straight. Can't do that with a door!
