I have two Ameri-Towne three story buildings (both Ed’s Hardware). All of the walls for both sets are warped to some varying degree. All walls are warped in the same direction. Looking at front of wall the center is bowed down across the middle of the wall. I have turned the walls upside down and placed a weight on the wall in an attempt to reverse the warp. After a period of one and one-half weeks sitting I removed the weights and all of the walls sprung back to the warped shape.
I have a DPM structure that provides the following instructions in case their walls have warped: “Lay piece flat, detail side up, on a cookie sheet. Place in a cold oven and heat to 250 degrees F. When temperature has been reached turn oven off and allow piece to cool to room temperature in the oven, approximately 12 hours. Do not open oven door while cooling, as this could cause further warping.”
DPM walls are made out of Polyurethane and the Ameri-Towne walls are Polystyrene and are thicker than the DPM walls. Ameri-Towne advertizes that their walls will not warp. Since mine are warped does anyone have a suggestion for getting the warp out? Or is it possible that the DPM procedure would work for the Amrei-Towne walls?
Thanks, Ed
