Hi Rob I prefer to soak the plank for 30 mins then fit it damp to the ship let it dry for 24 hours, take it off, and you will find it has dried to the shape you require, then fix it with adhesive. ( please make sure you drill the holes before you pin it )
You can see how I do it in my build diary
Happy Easter Mike
