Bending a laminate bow question

[swamp monkey]

I am new to gluing on a hickory back.  I have made a couple of bows in this manner but I have much to learn.  Once I have a bow glued up can I use a form to heat treat the limbs to flip the tips or even bend in recurves; or is that something you do when gluing things up?  Bottom line I do not want to ruin a glue job with heat.  I used tite- bond III.  Thanks for your input.

Short answer. No. It will delaminate.

You can heat treat a belly prior to gluing it up.

Intense heat will break down Titebond 3, often up to the point where the glue fails.

Besides this, it is also SOOOO much easier when you just clamp the bow into the desired shape when the glue is still wet. It prevents yet another step from the bowyers toolbox (heat bending).
