Welcome to plank on frame building. I have built 2 boats this way. I made a plank soaker from PVC pipe, cut to the length of the balsa strips. Soak them for at least 30 minutes in Windex. Longer soaking is OK, too. Take one strip out and wipe it with a paper towel, leaving it wet. Run thick CA along the frames and the edge of adjoining planks, and apply the plank. Hold it in place with your fingers for about 30 seconds. No pins or clamps needed. Do a length of plank just long enough to control with your hands. Keep doing this for the length of the plank, then trim off the excess.
You will have CA on your fingers, but if you wipe it hard on a paper towel it will not stick fingers together. Keep the CA debonder handy anyway.
And keep your working area well ventilated, with a fan perhaps. CA is hard on the lungs.
And have fun!
