Don't panic. You still have most of the wood available for thios
glue-up. Obviously the wood is just still stabilizing. You need to
start over. Really no other approach.
Just rip the boards right on the glue lines. Re flatten, re-edge. Get
very straight edges so the boards flush up clean all along the edge
even before clamping. Re-glue and clamp.
You need to make sure you use enough clamps. However if the edges of
the wood are good you don't need that much pressure. You can map the
clamping pressure coverage by imagining a line extending at 45 degress
to each side of the clamp bar from the face of the clamp towards the
joined edges. The clamps should be close enough together so the
pressure zones overlap. So wider boards actually require less clamps
because the pressure zone expands the farther you get from the clamp
face. I hope that makes sense.
