| If you zoom up and look closely, you can see damage along the edges caused by my heating iron. The Teflon coating somehow was contaminated. Went to hobby store and was told to use lacquer thinner to remove paint that somehow got on. Tried it, and still have trouble. Anyone have ideas? I'll |

| Went through various mediums before (finally) settling on thin brass. Lots of practice here |

| Thanks for the idea, DD. Works much better. Also made the stringers heavier - 1/16 X 1/8. Will require some sanding. The balsa I get from my LHS is very good and consistent in quality, but it is soft as a slice of fresh white bread. That means my nimble fingers break a few pieces. Any ideas for getting a little harder balsa? |
