RE: What should I have done?
I must have "A" grain. I picked up 1 sheet from LHS (1/32"x4"x36). It was too thin. I believe I need 3/32". I took a small piece of that balsa and tried to bend it around the Leading Edge - and wow, it split. Do I need to prepare the balsa so that it is more flexible? I figure a 3/32" would split earlier.
