I have just received a new #3 Silvers pad.

I know that it is necessary to sand the pad mating surface to remove any high spots. However, the pad also has a slight curve
that does not flatten to the stock surface when the screws are tightened. I have been told to place the pad in boiling water, then remove and bend the pad to flatten the curve. Is this correct??

Thanks for your help.
