Default How can I bend this piece of balsa?

I'm modifying another Mach II and am trying to put on a rounded deck. Well, the top isn't totally flat, and on the two curved parts there is some balsa that I'm trying to figure out how to bend and glue in place.
I've heard about misting with water or alcohol. how will this affect the CA?
Would that work?
I was also thinking about cutting out a little slice, like a piece of pie, to remove the extra bit of wood. Then bending it down and CAing it.

It's a piece of 1/16 balsa supported and glued in the middle down the length of the fuse, and glued to some planed down angle stock on the sides.
Any ideas??
