titebond and steam

[bigbob2]

Been playing around with couple self bows while waiting on new supplies for my more 'normal' glass bows.Will post some shots of one nearly finished once I get the true oil for the finish Looks ok to me. I roughed out 4 staves a while back all of which are fairly 'bumpy' to say the least.Working on the first two staves but  last two, decided to cut the 'good' section of each stave and z splice them to make one good stave. My question is will titebond stand up to being steamed? If not what would be more acceptable? I know Titebond is supposed to be waterproof but perhaps steam might be pushing it a bit.

All Titebond wood glues(TB,TBI,TBII,TBIII) break down at 150deg(F).

I steam billets individually prior to splicing them together. Then you could use whatever glue you wanted. That said, I won't use Titebond for splices. I use Resorcinal, Smooth On, or Unibond.

I recently had to re-heat a belly after it had been glued.  I used Unibond for the glue up but had some air gaps that I just filled with TBIII.  Almost immediately after applying some heat (only on the belly) with a heat gun the TBIII started to burn off and become liquid.  The heat didn't seem to phase the Unibond.  
I wouldn't use TBIII in any heat application after seeing how easy it broke down.

Thanks guys appreciate the answers.Looks like I will take the advise, use smooth on, and steam each 'half' separately.
