Strip: bulkheads

I have glued up panels for the bulkheads of my Guillemot using leftover strips. The strips started out 3/16" thick but I had trouble keeping everything flat when I glued the panels. After running the panels through my drum sander to flatten the panel the final thickness came out closer to 1/8". I know some people use foam but I would like to use wood.

Will the thickness of the panel matter?
