Fillipo,

I'll weigh in here, but with only limited experience--this is from my challenge build #3. This is a BRW bridge (dyed black to match the ebony fb), I used 315gm glue and a rubbed joint. I didn't preheat anything, just a swipe of glue on the top, a swipe on the bottom of the bridge, and I set it. I drilled two locating pin holes through the E string holes in the bridge, and gently "rubbed" the joint until I felt it getting sticky. I stuck in the locating pins and let it set for a few minutes. I then removed the pins before the glue hardened and I could easily get them out. It's been under string tension for two months with no movement so far..... JMHO.
