Yes!Nice restoration!
I could take a picture of the one on my patio. It's bowed pretty good even with the spacer bracket.I was going to take a Pic of one bowed, but I can't find it right now.
Full disclosure: I don't hate durawood, I just like real wood better. That's an awfully thick piece of plastic to melt back into shape. I personally don't think it would work. The easy solution would be to harvest the durawood from a parts grill and just replace the one bowed slat.JimV, Steve, Dan, I sometimes take a heat gun to my 3D printed somethings to tweak the fit...I have a massive ACE Hardware heat gun that I think would work to straighten out any bowed durawood, but I don't have anything to try my theory on. I think you could put the table upside down on a flat surface and heat the bowed slat up enough to get it back into shape, but it seems like nobody likes durawood enough to try it except me!

I won't try and stop you, I just don't think it will work.
Alright, I'm definitely interested in any kind of experiment. The extra durawood is a much easier solution to the problem is all I'm saying.Lucky me I have some extra durawood from the free green 1000 with the cut frame, so other than wasting a few KWH, it is worth a try.
