[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1636440, member: 93138"] I've used carnuba wax for a release agent with both Devcon Aluminum putty and some brown stuff that the LGS had when I bedded my first ever. The carnuba wax was what I had, so I used it and it worked well, but I have to think that there are better options. I don't understand the Devcon steel choice. There isn't enough metal in the epoxy to impart an identical thermal expansion rate. I'll take the aluminum any day and if I ever have it to spare I'll try the $$$ titanium filled. Supposedly the Marine-Tex can be dyed using polyester fiberglass resin dyes. Haven't tried that yet. I used J-B Weld for the aluminum pillars in my first pillar bedding. Worked well, but I can't see using it for the whole job. [/QUOTE]
