yes if you use steel slats like the ones for bending sides they use a blanket for side bending mine has taken a type of clamping pressure i am sure you can find a way Robert

Can the LMI bridge plate blankets survive the clamping pressure to flatten a warped top?

<<i>I would use mdf for the caul because for me it is cheep and i can shape it easily into a caul any shape size and complexity for guitar work

Thanks Mark, that's a relief. I just want to remove the bridge plate and get the top flat, not pop the braces, and most importantly not change the sound. Next question is how do you get a 300 degree caul maneuvered into place? Do you thread it onto a clamp? Do I have to fabricate this or is there a commercially available version?

Robert,<br />
I believe the temperature required to break the bond is higher for hide glue than for aliphatic resin. I use a metal clamping caul that is a little smaller than the bridge, heating it and working it loose from one side at a time. I heat the plate somewhere beetwen 250 - 300 degrees, clamp it into place, and leave it until the top starts to get very warm to the touch. I have seen quite a few plates fail prematurely simply because of the direction of the grain.
