When reflexing the outer limb(not sharp recurves) on dry wood, I just use the heat gun. No oil. I've never used oil and never had a problem. I like to do it when the limbs are beginning to flex. Sometimes the back is sealed with shellac, but often it's not. If I know it's dry, it doesn't need it.Perhaps we should ask you first... what degree of curve you plan to bend it into?
