It's the wrong blade for that job. Typically a 1/4" or 3/8" blade should be used to cut curves in thin wood. Such a wide blade is for straight cuts, typically resawing lumber.

One option would be to change the blade, typically a 5 minute operation. Another would be to use a disk sander to remove the excess waste after cutting with the 1 or 1 1/4" blade, but before attaching bracing.
