[QUOTE="Brent, post: 54973, member: 99"] I never masked these two off, but if a guy was worried about gettin it all over the place, it's the safe way. I don't get in too much of a hurry with it though and find plenty of time to keep things wiped up nice. Masking off any checkering is probably a real wise move in any event, probably get tied up cleaning it out for a while if you got any in it. I like to do the whole thing at once, partly because I don't want to screw with it a second time, and partly because I think it makes the best fit behind the recoil lug. Probably fine either way, but doing the tang afterward leaves the possibility of it being higher in the rear than it was when originally bedding in the recoil lug, this could keep it from contacting fully near the top of the lug where it's most critical. Nice tip on the oil thing, Ian. I'll have to try that next time. Rubbing with "0000" steel wool takes the wax skin back off and cleans the edges nicely after you get it all cleaned up and the epoxy is now semi-solid. Softens the edges and leaves a clean look to it, and won't remove the blueing, just polishes it up nice. [/QUOTE]
