Oops! The clamps made dents in the balsa. Time to buy some wood putty. I tried using pins, but they didn’t hold. Next time I’ll use plywood sheets to even out the pressure.

i presume there was no frame under that section of the hull skin were the clamp was? why not use masking tape to hold the balsa skin in place till the glue dries instead of the clamps?

It was there. Just a little to the left. I had to put the clamp at an angle.
