Removing a curve

I had a blank leaning against the wall for a while, and is there a way of removing that curve from the blank? Thanks for any help, Bryan.

Bryan,

If the blank set in a curve from standing it in a corner, you might try turning it 180 degrees and reversing the set. The problem is that much of the time there are contributing factors such as sunlight and or refracted light fron a bay window or usually the rear window of a car.
Try matching the conditions that caused the bend in reverse.

Bryan, Put the curved side down, tip to the floor and bend it gently for about thirty seconds and hold it. It will staighten somewhat or possibly all the way. Kevin Bogan

Thanks fro the help. I have actually matched the conditions that it was in, only in reverse and opened up the shades and it is already almost straight except for a little near the tip which I can live with. I don't want it setting too long or I could end up with an S curve. Thanks gain, Bryan.
