I use steel at the leading and trailing edges. Usually rod of some sort for the trailing edge and what ever I have on hand for the leading edge. Place the stock down and tack glue the steel guides so the stock slips between them. This way I can use it as many times as needed. Use an exacto balsa plane to get it close then sand to finish.
