Each section of balsa is marked to follow the hood's contour, trimmed along the marked curve, and then trimmed with some excess length. It is then glued to the inside surface of the hood and the side of the duct floor with cyanoacrylate adhesive (the generic name for products like Super Glue). A medium- or thick-viscosity, gap-filling version is best, to prevent the end grain of the balsa from wicking all the glue away from the joint, as well as to fill in imperfections. The glue sets in just a few seconds, so each piece can be held in place by hand and progress is rapid.
