I knocked up a 2by2 gaming board out of mdf, that has warped at the corners. I didn't brace it as I had nnot the wood to make a brace, nor the thought that it would warp as it was such a small board.

I have painted both sides, which I had hoped would stop it getting worse.

Before I go and dump £12 worth of static grass,flock and paint on to the the top of it, should I scrap this one and remake it?

Will bracing it at a later date fix the issue? I was hoping to get it painted this weekend while I have the time to do it, and could easily brace it next week when I get out to the store. Covering up 4 screw holes with grass will be a quick job, so that's would not be an issue.

Only 6mm. Would have gone thicker but it was all I had access too at the time, and I really did think a 2by2 would stand up to some glue! :D

Could screw it onto some sturdy battens but you'd probably need a cross brace to stop it twisting
