[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1774581, member: 3728"] I break a tongue depressor, sharpen it on the edge and scrape off all of the excess bedding material, tooth pick gets the final pass. Heat helps. In the Summer, put it up in the attic over the garage, just don't fall off the drop down stairs! As the hardner starts to kick over, you can clean up a lot of the excess inside the mag well, easily with a very professional look. Hint: when wiping off the excess that is squishing out, only use one end of the Q tip and throw it away, try to flip the Qtip around and you get bedding material on your hand, then on the stock. Really nice stocks, I tape up completely so I don't get any smudges on the stock. Bridgport cleans up the final product. I like for it to be fully cured when I take it out of the stock. Lots of ways to get a great final bedding job, you will find your own way. Learn to check your bedding job with a magnetic base and dial indicator if you are a serious group shooter or serious about shooting very long range. You do not have to spend a lot of money on a magnetic base and indicator that will measure .001 ebay item number: 172010407341 If the needle moves .002, give the bedding job a skim coat, you will learn volumes by checking your own work. Learning curve is a bitch, but the satisfaction in a job well done translates to some fantastic shooting. [/QUOTE]
