[QUOTE="cross, post: 201105, member: 8592"] No. It's just the same as standard glass bedding. The differences that I've learned are that when skim bedding you may want to apply more pressure to the action when you set it because it will find the block and the glass will fill in everywhere else. I scoured the internet for more information on skim bedding a few weeks ago and finally just went ahead and did it. The only problem I had was I wanted to use the floor plate to help center the action screws better. This shouldn't have been a problem but I put it all to bed and then cinched it down with surgical tubing and then realized that I couldn't put the floor plate in with the surgical tubing in place. So I removed the surgical tubing and put the floor plate in and cinched it all down again. I wound up with a couple of bubbles under the tang. It shoots good but left a welt on my pride. I don't plan on making that mistake again. A better idea might be to use pins that will center on the holes through the block and are turned down to thread into the action. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
