So heat used with the belly reducer . I have read these work well.

With the Ovation steaming, does it hold its position well because of the ply construction?
Heat and moisture for belly reduction. Bridge plate glue is softened for repositioning/flattening.

This Ovation top was warped because the braces were about 60% unglued. The top was actually intended to be flat. The steaming and clamping had good results. I did it for a friend to see if I could. Better solution would be to discard due to time involved.
