This will cut down on the water weight of your bridge which will increase the efficiency score. This tip is mainly for those who are in a competition where the weight of the bridge is measured in .1 or .01 of a gram. It won't make a ton of difference, but it will help a little. Gup: My bridges have no average weight. Each bridge was built for completely different specifications and cannot really be compared to each other. "Me": There is really no other wood worth the money besides Balsa or Basswood. And yes, you can cut your own pieces out of sheets of the wood. Humphrey: Elmer's white glue is not very strong and should not be the glue of choice for a model bridge. Duke and Brady:
