I need some help with knowing what the temps should be when I'm ready to go to the heat box. Would it be something like this:

Riser laminations ---------- 185 degrees
Limb laminations ----------- 170 degrees
Limb tip & Riser accents --- 145 degrees

Also, what temp do you guys pre-heat your laminates and adhesive before you start glue-up?

Thanks for the help guys.

That should work,I usually just unscrew a couple bulbs in the center of my hotbox for the full bow glueup,on my onepieces,the riser is clamped up too.

I like about 70-75 degrees,if you get it too preheated,it will speed up the set,almost got caught one hot summers day,almost didn't get the bow together quick enuff! It still turned out ,but the glue was getting thick before we got done!

No doubt! I had one last summer where the glue was getting thick too early. That is frightening.
