help with the engineerd wood floor I just bought

[donjonson]

We just got 1000 square feet of engineered wood on clearance from lumber liquidators. I am planning on gluing it down. We opened a few boxes and noticed a good portion of them have slight warping to them some have a curve up and some even have a slight twist to them. They are tongue and groove system. I am able to force the warped pieces to lock together but It makes me nervous that I have to "force" them to fit together. does this mean they are going pop up while the glue is still soft and drying. I also noticed that a lot of them seem to have a marking on the top like from a crayon. does that indicate faulty pieces? Is this warp going to be a problem for me. Should I try to go and get my money back? even though that is unlikely to happen.

thanks in advance!

they sound like returned items to me.

do you have a woodburner?

I would guess that you'd have no end of problems. If the liquidators sold you the stock as in 1st class condition, then you may have recourse, if not, you may have a load of useless wood on your hands
