try laying it on a true flat surface ie worktop or a flat piece of marble and put some weight on it and leave for the glue to dry
hope this helps

There was a handy topic posted a while back, covering the method to straighten out any warped bits (if it was badly warped when you received it, contact customer services for a replacement).

The basics of this topic were steaming the part (watch your hands - or better still, use tongs), and following the advice given above in Allan's post. Be prepared to be patient though - the longer you leave the parts under a nice heavy bit of weight, the less likely they will be to spring back out of shape.
