Thank you rpb, that sounds like a good suggestion. Gluing top side down,
say on level piece of hardboard, might possibly help too. I just "know"
the wood is not going to cooperate with me on this! ; )

Go to:

... and scroll most of the way down the page to the date 3/20-25/04 to
get one idea on how to do an extra wide panel glue-ups.

Note: jointing the edges of couple of 2 x 4's, and attaching them,
jointed side up, to a flat surface; then using the jointed surface of
the 2x 4's to support the glue-up, serves a dual purpose ... in both
helping to keep things flat, and allowing you to alternate clamping
pressure from top and underneath so that all your clamping force is not
across one surface:
