Hello there,

I recently made a game board with a friend of mine, but one thing relly messed up, our board is made of MDF and is seems they bended a bit.

So I was hoping that there could be some easy solution for making them normal again. so If anyone knows how to fix this, pls post it here On the picture below is showed what happened.

It's just a board of MDF and nothing else? Of course it bent. Wood warps as surely as water is wet. You need some sort of frame on the underside to keep everything straight.

If you wanted something that wouldn't bend your better off with a sheet of 3/4 inch ply wood.

To fix your problem build a frame underneath your mdf useing some 1"x1" stock.

i used 2 2x4s and nailed them to the bottom of my board then i cut 2 smaller pieces of 2x4 to the ends of the longer 2x4s so it made a frame, but my frame didn't go to the edges, it was about 8in from any edge.
