Default balsa snapping????

hello all, i crashed my hangar 9 p-51 mustang a lil... im tryin to rebuild the top rounded section right behind the canopy. i keep trying to bend the balsa sheet around that hump but it keeps breaking. its the same thickness as the balsa thats was on there, and imm having the grain of the balsa go with the length of the plane. can i wet the balsa? or humidify it in the bathroom? or is there some other trick to bending the balsa? any help greatly appreciated!!!! thanks in advance!!!
