RE: balsa dents
jchorak,
Absolutely. Get a syringe with the smallest needle you can find. Fill it with water and stick the needle into the wood where the dent is. Then inject the water into the dented wood. Now using a covering iron (a clothes iron will work here if you don't have a covering iron) and heat the dented area. The heat will turn the water to steam and push the dent in the balsa back out.

RE: balsa dents
You can ask your doctors office for one. Explain what you want to use it for. Also, if you have a farm co-op in your town you can find them as they have veterinary medicine supplies. I don't know if you can buy them in a pharmacy or not without a prescription.
