T 1100-11 - What B Widow been using for years. Best to bring it up to 130-145. It will cure in several hours at that temp.

Thanks. One other thing I've thought about.  I'm using the double layer of innertube.  Should I have split it lengthwise so I only have one layer?

Yes, i do. You can squeeze to much glue out. I never have with inner tube however. That extra wedge of wood you have in riser is begging to get popped out of your bow. Either by compression or loosened by vibration then compression.

Length of riser and how much fade thins is also kinda important. To thin for to far will cause core/riser separation. I try and keep handle really stiff with a glue on. Any bending there and nothing is stopping handle from popping

Alchemist, re "When you say 'let them sit around a week' what do you mean?  The individual parts before gluing or the glued up bow?"

Let the glued up bow re acclimate after coming out of the heat box, rather than trying to tiller straight away.
