I am rather new to the building scene and am in the process of building a few tenors using cocobolo. I realize that it is suggested to remove the oils with acetone before gluing the joints. What about the bending of the sides? I am using a heat blanket, within a sandwich of steel (kind of a standard approach). Should I rub the oils out with acetone before bending, spray with water, use foil, heat at a certain level, etc...?
I would appreciate the guidance. I have some pretty nice looking sets and wouldn't want to crack them in the process.
