Actually, vinegar is better than ammonia. Think back of the chicken legs you softened as a child in science class by soaking in vinegar. Pat the wood dry with a paper towel, then bend around the bulkhead. About the only glue that will attach wet balsa quickly and easily is CA and kicker.
Vineager works on chicken legs by removing calcium. Did you notice the chicken legs never reharden. Personally I wouldn't use it. I use plain water.-BW
