Had a D'oh moment today, decided to finish boarding some walls we started
last week but then remembered we'd left the boards leaning against a wall.
Needless to say I have a collection of curved boards
I've laid them out flat in the hope they'll straighten out. Just wondered
if anyone else had been daft enough to do this and whether the boards
flattened and if so what sort of timeframe.

Are these the ones you are gluing to the walls? How thick?

Nah, lean them against the wall the opposite way :-) (no really . . . )
If you have the time, leave it 24hrs but I wouldn't sweat too much about
just slapping them up, provided they're being screwed to studs that is,
which is the only way I ever fit them.

it's a ba-na-na . . . .

They bend even quicker in damp environments, IE when plastering is being
carried out.
They are best stored on their side, that is, the long side, and the one
nearest the wall should only be a few inches away at the bottom.
If they get laid flat, it's usually not long before someone is walking on
them or accidentally kicking the corners off with steel toecaps

These are 12.5mm, attaching with foam so need them straight. /q
Istr 'your' method of attachment involved lots of screws too? Will they not bend & hold them straight enough til the glue sets? How bent are they?
