OK,
There's more than one way to skin a cat. I know, terrible expression..
I've never used anything but CA and I never used a single pin.
With CA, as I said, I use a dab here and there so sanding the thing round becomes easier.
I use .125" contest grade balsa only. Planks can vary but .25" or just a tad thinner is what I have found to work well.
I hand sand/bevel so each piece is tight.
