Hi Steve, I've never done it but I have thought about it. Given that Stewmac sell their Fret Arbor Press with a picture of that very process suggests that it can be done

I imagine that even if the fretboard does bow slightly it will glue flat onto the neck when you apply the clamping pressure.

@russ thank you - that’s all the encouragement I need 😋
