Could you post a picture or diagram of what exactly the problem is? How wide a gap? How long is the gap? Other info is helpful.


Without seeing the problem I would suggest removing the plywood top and adjusting whatever is causing the plywood to bow either by removing material from the high spots with a plane of sander or adding material to the low spots by building up with glued on shims. After that, replace the plywood.
