I apologize for not answering the question asked, buy I have to ask: Why steam bend? I’ve bent edge glued panels for sides, where they were glued with Titebond Original. No problem. (I really don’t believe the II or III versions have any use in guitar building. Ditto Gorilla glue, which creeps.) I’ve always used a bending pipe, with the wood as dry as I can get away with. I’ve heard of people even doing this with hide-glued pieces. Steam is another story...
