[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1854049, member: 26077"] If you are mixing the metal 50-50 the issue isn't the release agent, it is your mix ratio is so far off that the material is not hardening properly. You will see the same result, even with the correct 2.5-1 mix, if you try to pop your action out before the Devcon has at least 24 hours to set up properly. Many guys try to pop the gun out early because they are worried about the gun sticking in the stock, all this does is make a mess because the Devcon is not hard enough to stay in place properly. Use two coats of Carnuba wax, put one on buff off after dry and then do the same again. Leave your Devcon for at least 24 hours, I often leave it 36, then remove the action. It will pop right out with a smart wack of a rubber hammer and you will get a perfect mirror finish bedding job. Devcon is not overly critical on the volume mix ratio but you can't be anywhere near 50-50. [/QUOTE]
