Topic: lifting edges. how to fill the gaps?

Greetings,

So with all that I have tried. My edges still tend to lift and sometimes pretty severely (5mm up)
But not a huge pproblem to me. But when it comes to gluing two pieces together, of course there is a gap. How should I fill this gap?
Bondo? Maybe heating and clamping it? What do you suggest?

Thanks

50mm!? I don't think I could recreate that even using nylon. Something is not right here. Can you post some pictures?

Have you tried to address the lifting?  This might be your best option before you attempt connecting.

Yeah I have done a few things. I'll probably try to lessen the odds of lifting later on. But for now I'm just wondering what might be good ways to fill the gaps.
