Re: Sylvanian Christmas sleigh hand made
Thanks for the tip on the glue! My balsa often comes unstuck as soon as I remove the piece from wherever I had it clamped down to dry... Now I know why!

To be sure leave balsa which you have just glued and clamped up for 30 minutes before moving it.

Re: Sylvanian Christmas sleigh hand made
I use super glue to hold my balsa wood things together. I'm impatient and super glue dries faster. Are there any bad side effects to doing it this way? I haven't noticed any so far, but I was wondering if something will show up in the future.

Hi,
I have never used superglue on balsa so I can't comment................but if it works then ok! Any problems will show straight away!
