shape! If your host would put about 20 cuts parallel with the grain in the
panel and insert 20 shims at the same time, I 'recon that would indeed
induce some crown. Or maybe what you need to do rather is put a whole bunch
of transverse cuts across each rib and pull up on the board and goosh in a
little epoxy in these along with the bridge job. No doubt all these methods
would induce some crown. Maybe doing all three chop and squish procedures
would do it?

All of these techniques are very short term 'solutions.' In the end
compression set always wins.
