Forming Curves in Balsa - Sheeting made Easier - RC Model Aeroplane Build & Repair

A quick and easy method to form curves/bends in balsa, so making sheeting of wings and fuselages easier, or even for custom cowls! In the video I am using am Ammonia based cleaning liquid, which contains Ammonium Hydroxide 0.185% W/W. The ammonia softens the lignin in the wood, which allows the balsa wood to be shaped/formed. The shape is then retained once the wood dries.
