ok new u finish bow kit arrived

[Scott Beitzel]

ok since this is the first kit i have ever done i have a few questions
the bow is bamboo backed ipe and hickery .
i take it i have to first get or build a for would like a slight reflex deflex i suppose they stated that it would inprove performance .
and then glue and clamp very securly.

1. do i rough up all peices before the gluing process .
clamp let dry and then

2.what should my fades be located and a good idea what they should be ?

3. and i take it i do not touch the face of the bamboo as far as sanding and so on other than trueing the edges and smoothing the entire bow together.

ok that should be enough for now      

thanks for any help ,
Scott
