I've read a few posts on this subject from the search section on how to deal with cupped plates.The advice is; wet the cupped side and lay cup side down on a concrete floor or on a wet towel, and leave for a few days.
Now, here is the dumb question, duh Is the cup side the "concave" or the "convex" side? idunno

Thanks
