Spadge Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Extremely long shot I know.....However, would anyone have tucked away in their attic / workshop a circular wooden sink cover for a Mobilvetta embossed with the Mobilvetta insignia. One of mine has been left against a radiator and warped badly ................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sorry, can't help you with a Mobilvetta one, but I do have a plastic circular sink cover similar to this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elddis-Caravan-circular-kitchen-sink-chopping-board-ESCB1-/170969631826?pt=UK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories&hash=item27ce958c52 If it is any good let me know and I'll dig it out and measure it/photograph it for you, then we can 'talk turkey'. :-D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globebuster Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 If all else fails, and providing its not made up of too many sections 'biscuited' together you could try steaming/soaking it and then clamping. You have nothing to lose by leaving it soaking in hot water over night then encapsulating it with two nice chunky bits of ply [3/4"] and clamping it on all four corners - leave to dry naturally. Worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadge Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hi Mel B, appreciate the offer. However I'm going to try the 'Soak in water' before anything else because I would prefer to keep 'Moby' as original as possible. Many thanks though. (Might still have to 'Talk Turkey' later :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadge Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hi Globebuster, thanks for the suggestion, it is 'Biscuited' in 7 parts, but as you suggest ' Whats to lose' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadge Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Quick message to Globebuster ! Tried the 'Soak in water' suggestion and it was reasonably successful. The cover is not completely flat but only has about 1/8" (3mm) bow now and that will do. Retains originality too ! Many thanks. Thank you too for the offer 'Mel B' obviously no need now. Much obliged though. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globebuster Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Glad it worked Spadge. You might never get it entirely flat, but then again it is a natural material. 3mm sounds good to me [well better than ending up in to halves!] now if you want to take it one step further - Get some Tung Oil, warm it up and liberally coat [it won't contaminate any foodstuffs] then clamp it again in a few weeks. Come to think of it....not worth bothering about ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
