Mornin' All,

I am building a Slow Poke kit and have reached the point where I need to wrap 1/16" balsa sheets over the curved nose formers. The instructions say to "liberally spray the outer surfaces with an ammonia/water mixture to make the sheets more pliable while bending." Unfortunately, they don't say what ratio of ammonia-to-water to mix up. They also don't say whether to wait for the mixture to soak into the balsa or to start bending right away. What do y'all suggest?

The bends are parallel to the sheet's grain.

Thanks for your help,

Harvey
