| Hi gang!
So, I've been eyeballing this part :
For some time ...
I build a lot of Classic Space(stations) and since having moved away from baseplates
I use a combination of platelayer + bricklayer + platelayer to create my own
"baseplates" with Technic holes at the ends to make a modular setup
These 16x16 thingies, mostly used in mosaic sets, are pretty close to that so
I've bought some for testing
Since they're invisible (I will put a layer of tan plates on top so the colour
doesn't matter to me), I've bought five new ones in lavender (cheapest
colour)
But they're all very clearly warped! 
All five in the same maner 
Is this a known problem with this part?
Now, I haven't build anything with them yet so they may straighten out with
some weight on the top?
Cheers,
Ole

| We've sold quite a few of these, and we haven't noticed any issues with
warping as of yet. We haven't had any of the lavender ones, though.

| I'd also like to add that I do NOT fault the seller here!
It was an experiment, I can handle a 10EUR loss
However the seller offered me a refund. I declined. I then got a coupon 
Which is like a thumbs up for me to blow more money on LEGO even if the wife
says noooooo 
So, I can very much recommend Brickmatey as a great new, fair and reliable seller
Cheers,
Ole

| Also, I think I read somewhere that these parts actually comes from TLG pre-stacked
in threes in the big mosaic sets?
Is that correct?

I have seen a lot of the black ones, and I have never seen any sign of warping
in any regards. Maybe it is an issue with the lavender ones?

Hmm, looks like I should try to buy some black ones then
That was my plan anyway, as just knowing an obnoxious colour sitting deep inside
my MOCs, makes my hair turn grey
I'm not sure if these mosaic sets are popular for parting out, but I hope
that part in black drops below a dollar/euro in the future as I would need several
hundreds
Thanx for the replies guys and gals!

| I've had some large plates in "friends" colours come warped. No
amount of weight will straighten them. I contacted TLG for replacements.
I recommend doing the same.

While TLG technically owns BL I'm not sure parts here bought here would qualify
for a replacement?
Has anyone tried that?

| Warped parts are warped parts. Does it matter where they came from? They don't
meet the quality standards. They should be replaced IMO.
Now, if you stockpiled all your broken reddish brown pieces from the last decade
and tried to make a claim, that's probably pushing it.

| Heat will straighten them out. I used heat to straighten large plates 6-7 years
ago. I cannot remember the exact setting, but it was something as follows:
Set your oven to a low temp of 200
Place items in oven for a short time period, start with 1 minute.
Pull them out of the oven and test their temperature.
Continue to put into oven until they are warm enough.
Once they get warm enough the bends will fall out.
Over cooking will ruin the clutch on the studs so be careful.

For a purely Aussie flavor add pineapple! When I was growing up there was a pizza
parlour where we used to order pizza, the taste of the pizza was fantastic to
me! We quite often ordered it with all the toppings, or most of them. Finger
licking goodness!
Before anyone asks yes us Aussies are a weird mob, we do put pineapple pieces
or crushed strained pineapple topping on our pizzas!
Cheers ...

Fahrenheits I presume? That would be 93°C.
ABS starts getting supple at 40°C / 104°F
Hot tap water should do the trick better: less hot (around 55°C), more regularly
spread out.

Thanx, but I know of that trick
Have saved a number of baseplates that way. I used two glassplates and an industrial
heatgun. Worked very well after a few mistrials
Not going to bother with 10 bucks of parts this time though ..
