Help - How to steam a cedar strip?

Hi everyone,

I am just installing the third strip from the shear and so far things are going ok. Nevertheless I see some difficulties when I get into strips with more twist. I am using 7/16 wide hand beveled strips.

What is the proper way of steaming a strip? When can you glue it and how long should you wait before epoxying?
