Default Tip stalling remedies?

I purchased a Seagull Extra arf (.75 to .95 size / 63" ws) as an aerobatic "trainer" if you will. After getting it home I read mant reviews that said it tip stalled easily. Since I am not a skilled pilot, I'd like to build in feature(s) that will minimize the tip stalling trait before I maiden it. What do you think of putting a strip or two of a flexible, plastic "L" material across the top of the wing as a sort of short fence? Also at the tip? Lastly, what do you guys think of building and adding a spacer 1" wide that matches the wing at the root? What would happen if you added one to each side of the fuse and used a wing tube that was 2" longer? I just want the plane to behave till I have a chance to get used to it.
