[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1774678, member: 38048"] Most all the materials we have for bedding work like s champ. Release agents work too. But some are hands down better. The biggest key to a perfect bedding job is fitting prep of the stock and pillars. I can show you 4 ways to do it that all have the same result. Meaning the action sit in the glass on the pillars with no stress induced into it while it cured. Skim coating an aluminum block is definitely easy for the novice to get right the first time out the gate because the fit is already done. And the pillar heights are set. I always see improvement when bedding a block. I think the surface area of contact absorb more vibration. There is no way you can just look at a bedding job and know it's been done right. Done wrong will shoot worse than not at all. But bedding jobs can be jjjbbhhbvvhllk for stress to see if it's doing what it should. Franklin stocks had one of the best write-ups I've ever seen on bedding to get perfect everything. A lot goes into a perfect bedding job. And when we do one for a customer it has to look perfect and be perfect. When you do it at home you have some leeway on looking good. A small bubble or incomplete glue line on the top will hurt nothing and most people wouldn't even know flaws were present anyways. I really enjoy guys working on their own rifles and learning to do it properly and safe. I was in your shoes 30 years ago. Glad I never stopped. Shep [/QUOTE]
