Once the wood is hot enough to bend and is then bent when it cools it is permanent. There is no need whatsoever to heat again afterwards. Remember you want to use the minimum amount of heat to get the recurves bent. Heat weakens wood.I don't know where this 'method' gained creditability.A 'static' recurve needs to be only 1/16th thicker than the thinnest part of the working limb to 'stay put'.
