Has anyone used heated steam bending for laminated bow woods which have Smooth-On EA 40 epoxy as the glue holding the pieces together?
Does it work?? or will the Epoxy separate from the wood?

About halfway down the page is a button "Technical bulletin" Push It. In there it says that the heat distortion temperature is 173 degrees depending on how you mixed and cured the epoxy. I think steaming would make it fail. Epoxies also have a thing called "glass transition temperature". You might want to Google that.
