I have an out door table and the edges are cupping. I am using clamps to straighten but not sure it will work. Should I moisten with water?

if possible open the wood pores on the underside of the cupping and add water to soak into wood when straight seal with sanding sealer

try screwing batten boards on the underside with waterproof glue.
pre drill the holes so the wood does nt split
