Hello Forum ,
I have an upcoming job of straightening a somewhat warped neck that has been stored, either too much humidity or not enough.
I've searched the net for solutions and short of removing the fretboard have found these 2 videos on applying heat over extended time periods. They do address different issues .
Any comments from experienced members would be appreciated and this one .You'll have to watch on YouTube though.

I have heard of this before, so it does exist. I've heard it referred to as "heat pressing." But I know nothing about it. I also don't know how long it lasts.

I've not tried it and would worry about the long term stability. I would ask at the repair subforum at OLF before doing anything. Remember that when you bend sides or wood binding you typically take the wood to about 350F where it goes into the kind of plastic state and holds the shape as it cools.
Can you pull the fretboard and plane the neck flat? You'll probably have to reset it anyway.
