Default RE: Beginner with new plane kit

When sheeting curved areas I wet the balsa and wrap it around a piece of 4 inch PVC pipe overnight. Once dried out the balsa takes a curve that fits well around a LE or fuse. Even if it comes out with too tight a bend a weight on top (LE) or an elastic band springs it out to the shape required.
