PLEASE!!! Balsa Master's please enlighten this humble builder...
I've been learning a lot thanks to the forums, but one thing I haven't discovered is the method that some use to make their balsa nosecones look like something molded out of colored plastic, rather than a lightweight grainy piece of wood.
Many of my attempts seem to end in miserable failures with me sanding off too much in one spot, and perhaps not enough in another. I don't know, I think I may have been holding my jaw in the wrong position, or something.
Please share the secret so we may all learn the ways of the wood... (photos help)
Thanks for listening to my pleas.
