Dave:

Just found this -

I purchased a DPM O scale building kit and one of the walls is warped. Is there any way to flatten it?

The walls and details in the DPM O Scale Building Kits Birdie's Tavern, Kirsten's Corner Cafe, and Aunt Eleanor's House are hand-cast in high quality casting resin and can become warped due to storage conditions. It is possible to flatten the walls, but it will take a little time.

Lay wall flat on a cookie sheet, detailed side facing up. Place in a cold oven and heat to 250º F. When temperature has been reached, turn oven off and allow piece to cool to room temperature inside oven (approximately 12 hours). Do not open the oven door while cooling, as this could cause further warping.

I am not sure what 'resin' means but it is probably different then their styrene kits so will most likely need super glue or epoxy like the Korber kits do.
