good info i was talking to a guy at work today and found out he had the glass bedding tape/vhs froom brownells i picked it up on the way home so with that info and the bedding 101 i think i have something to go by ill do the bedding job this weekend
Jim, Roy and sniper2 both make good points. here's the thread Roy mentioned Bedding a Savage. And you can get away with to little bedding compound, just grind it out and try again. If you use to little release agent you got one hell of a problem. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
