It has been suggested that I use a 50/50 of water and ammonia to spray on
planking to make bending easier as against steaming

Has anyone had any experience of this method and its effectiveness

It works but I used it "as supplied" for drain cleaning/grease removal with
15 minute immersion period on 16mm x 3mm (5/8" x 1/8").

Does this method interfere with (a) the gluing period or the effect on
paint - do you have to neutralise the ammonia?

Wipe dry and apply the adhesive. I use a staple gun to retain planking into
position ( 8mm x 8mm staples).
