Do you use a lot of steam? I don't use any but I do use starch so it does get
a little damp and it hasn't warped yet. I used sub-floor panel which I think is
what you used too. If you use steam, next time you make a new board drill
some holes so the steam can escape? That's what I plan to do on mine. It
should be a lot lighter that way too.
