[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 897301, member: 22335"] Just remember the same thing I tell patients with regard to prescription creams - it's only the part that touches that does any good. Layering it on too thick is a waste since you're going to wipe it off anyway. That's right - it's like waxing a car. Wipe it on, buff it off, and then bed. To pull in another piece of your comments, I never tighten the screws when bedding. I use a properly threadaed bolt with the head cut off, wrap it with tape so that the diameter will just fit into the screw hole in the action, hit it with Kiwi and bed it. The cutoff bolts align it for you, and you get a stress free bedding job.
