I bought a sheet of finger jointed rubber. It was delivered on the top of an auto. Just when it was reaching the club, there was a sudden downpour and the 12mm sheet got wet on one side. It started to warp almost immediately, convexity towards the wet side.
I cut the wood into two to ease carrying it. I placed the wet surface facing upwards and placed it on the floor with a lot of wood weighing it down. I hope this is reversible.

I have a sheet of 12mm finger jointed rubber wood that has also bowed without it being soaked in water. 19mm boards do not seem to bow that much. But I don't worry about it too much because when I assemble pieces it is possible to force the boards to be flat. There is more of a problem in cutting bowed sheets accurately but it can be done.
