I don't paint - but this trick worked for a warped drawing:

1. ***LIGHTLY*** wipe the back with a damp cloth.
2. Lay the wet side down on masonite.
3. Cover the top with tracing paper or some other clean protective sheet.
4. Pile a bunch of books or other FLAT heavy item on top of the sheet.

I left it like that overnight and it worked.

For you, I would use Spray Glue instead of water.
