Whats the best bedding removal out there?

[Jeffery1122]

I recently bedded my Remington 700 barrel to my Bell and Carson stock, I didn't use enough release agent towards the top side of the barrel and now have glue on there. what do you guys use to take that glue off the barrel?

You can't scratch it off?
Whatever you decide to do the sooner you do it before it fully cures the better

Square and sharpen the end of a popsicle stick so you can use it as a scraper. Then find a way to heat the epoxy to about 250° and scrape it off.

I recently got it Cerakoted, it shouldn't effect the finish heating it up right?

Yeah it's coming off just tiny bits at a time. I'm going to try heating it up

Not if you use a sane method of heating.

Place the barreled action in the freezer over night. This will sometimes break the bond because of the barreled action shrinkage in very cold conditions and the different coefficient of expansion of the two materials.

When you take it out of the freezer use a credit card or a tong depressor to prevent scratching to remove the excess bedding compound. To prevent this from happening again. Use paste wax or shoe polish and coat the entire action and barrel. I don't use the film release agents furnished because they sometimes slip and expose bare metal.

no torches. got it.

seriously, if you have a hair dryer, or better yet, a heat gun, that will do the trick nicely.

Would a heat gun like used to heat and remove paint work for this if used on a lower setting or kept at a distance ?

 

[raider1v1]

sure. just start lower and farther away and work in.

I would think that the penetrant mixture of ATF & Acetone would work it's way between the steel and the epoxy if given a little time to work.

Elbow grease, abrasive paper wraped arround a piece of old barrel, die grinder, dremel tool, and or mill. Time and patients will also help.

I like the freezer idea it has less chance of doing harm to the cera coating that was put on the barrel recently . I'm thinking that J E Custom has been around the block once or twice and I have always liked to learn from people that have experienced it . I'm on this site to learn thank you all for the info .

Grind it out and start over or take it to some one who knows what they are doing.
