Roger,
 I have not tried it myself but was let in on a "secret" used by an
upholsterer.  He claimed that by rewetting a warped panel with an
ammonia + water solution and holding it flat while it dried the warp
could be eliminated.

I have just cut new ones out of hardboard in the past but have been
thinking that a better substrate should be available.  I have heard of very 
thin plywood being used but would like to find an appropriate
thickness/rigidty sheet plastic.

Let us know if you try the ammonia and water.
