Default RE: CA Hardening of Balsa Wood

CA is also used to strengthen the wood and make it more crucsh resistant in areas like where control horns mount to control surfaces. Pin ***** the area and work thin or thick CA into the holes, nature will do the rest. This is especially valuable if you are using contest grade balsa wood and don't want to inlay hardwood where you need extra toughness..
