A solution to this is to use a long length of brass curtain rail,drill one hole either end where woodscrews clamp it to a bench,slide the balsa sheet underneath,set the width,then clamp down the screws,draw a blade to cut the strips,provided the balsa is aligned against a set square and a simple jig to mark the widths there should be no problem,the simple stripper described is fine for making small scale models where there is not much length attached where convenience is the byword,for larger models something better is needed.
