Straight Seams
To make really flat joints in sheet balsa, hinge them with tape, then glue the sheets in the usual manner. Lay the glued sheets flat, place a paper towel on top, followed immediately by a stout metal straightedge and closely spaced weights. Wait until morning before removing the weights and straightedge so that the glue is thoroughly dry.
