Any way to flatten it ?

Thanks,

"underlayment lumber" What's that?

When I hear "lumber", I think of a board. (2x4, 2x8, 4x4, etc) When I hear
"underlayment" I think of sheetgoods, e.g. plywood (luan, perhaps), particle
board, maybe even MDF depending on the application.

What type of product are you asking about? What are you going to do with
it/why do you need to flatten it?

A piece of luan underlayment could be "flattened" by attaching it to
a frame made of "lumber". ;-)


OK. Italian builder was building a house and sent his brother to the
lumber yard to buy 2X4's. The yards man asked the brother how long he
wanted them. Brother said he'd ask the builder. He comes back and
says, "We want them a long time. We building a house."
