[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2322786, member: 108576"] Darrlye I have had terrible luck with the surgical tubing method.I had to remove all bedding compound with a dremel tool one time and have not use it again. What I do works for me but others will offer their way of doing it and they may have had great results their way. This is my method:After I apply release and let it dry I put my Devcon in the recoil recess and at the rear of the action around the action screw and put my original screws in the action and tighten until I have resistance and back off 1 full turn on both action screws.Let it sit and it will fill in where I back off 1 full turn and let it sit until it sets up,about 12 hours and pull it apart and let it sit for another 12 hours. After 24 hours I install the barrelled action back into the stock and set up a dial indicator on the barrel and tighten to full contact and if I have .003 or more stock stress I have more work to be done. If there is metal on the bottom of the stock I bet that too if I'm pillar bedding seperate from top bedding. Thats my method and taught to me by one of the best gunsmiths I have ever known [/QUOTE]
