I think you'll find the information you need here:

Harry Boyd does a pretty good job of explaining things.

Again, as Rodmaker says, don't wear gloves. If it becomes hot enough that you can't hold it, it's too hot. Then again, it has to be hot enough for the bamboo to get soft. Go slow and you'll know when.
