General Building Tips
•
Tape your plans to the work table, and then cover them with wax paper to
protect them.
•
Balsa is a lightweight and fragile wood, so you do need to be careful with it;
however, you will also need to use a little bit of force to make everything fit
properly, so don't be too timid.
•
Join all of your pieces using thin CA (cyanoacrylate) glue, unless we tell you
otherwise. In general, only a small amount of CA is necessary to glue parts
together.
•
Don't remove any pieces from the balsa sheets until they're ready to be used.
That way, parts won't get mixed up or disappear.
•
After you remove pieces from the balsa sheets, carefully remove any of the extra
material from where the piece was attached.
•
Don't force your pieces together. If they aren't going together properly, make
sure you have the right pieces and that they are oriented correctly.
•
If you want to remove the charred edges caused by the laser cutting process,
dampen a cloth with bleach and gently rub the affected areas. Removing the
char will not increase the strength but will make it look better.
