How do you make balsa wood stronger?
I came to the same problem with a bridge that i made… if you want a light model Eg. model airplanes you can simply soak tissue paper with glue and wrap around the wood. then you can use super glue to re-enforce places likely to break. If you are building a bridge or somthing of the nature soaking the wood itself with a glue – water mixture can help fill pores which will make the wood itself stronger… also instead of meeting egdes and having corners barely touch, try overlaping the wood.
