I'v been woundering when and when can't you heat bows that are almost completed. How much heat can the different glues stand, like TB111 ect.
TBIII is designed to release at 150' F according to the maker, but I think it handles more than that...
What purpose or result are you looking for in heating the wood? That answer may help us to determine if you can safely heat it glued up.
None, I'm just trying to find out for future use.Just something I'v been pondering. Thanks
Heating the wood can have two different purposes. One is for forming and one is for hardening. If you do a search on the subject you can learn a lot about how, effects and what species respond best. Nearly all woods can be formed with heat. Not all woods will harden much with heat though. If you follow the rule of"Dry heat for dry wood and moist heat for moist / green wood", you will get the best results in forming.
