I bought this Magnolia sign this weekend. The sign is nice and shiny and there are few pops on the porcelain. However, the sign is wavy...  I'm guessing this was in a pile of junk somewhere for years and years... Is it possible to straighten a sign like this without damaging the porcelain?

I wouldn't try that, even w/ your sign.
GOOD LUCK, if you try.

I think it will always be warped but if you screw it to a wall it will seam fairly flat. Let me know if you want me to put it on my wall
