Removing sapwood from erc

Yep.That should be enough on the backing.Would'nt need get gleaned by 3 Rivers then either.
When glueing together to avoid any glue onto to your inner tubes I wrap it first with saran wrap.Then the inner tubes.Then clamped onto your caul.Other ways too to accomplish same result but it's just the way I've been shown and am used to.It's your build.

I like that saran wrap idea. Think I'll probably need to make a new caul though. The bends on the one I have now are probably a bit too extreme. I made it by tracing the contour of an FG recurve I have. Anyone know of a good r/d caul design/build-along with mild curves?

lebhuntfish was kind enough to show his model of an R/D caul build on page 2 on the build-a-long thread.
You can put a little more bend on the tips if you want with a different caul but doubt you'll need it.
