[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1024943, member: 22335"] As you can see, you're not supposed to use a product with silicone in it. I would strongly suggest removing every bit of it and starting over. As already mentioned the Kiwi shoe polish works very well. I've even seen it work better than the release agent sent with a relatively common bedding kit. You can easily apply and buff it off 2-3 times (like your car) and it will work very well. You might also remove a bit more wood under the forward portion of the action just behind the recoil lug. Your bedding material is not that thick here even after losing some wood after your first job. Keep the action stress free by using tape around the barrel and a few layers under the rear safety tang. The action should be sitting only on bedding material. I would also be extremely cautious about using clamps like you do to hold it in place. I use nothing to hold my bedding jobs, and not one has ever moved. The epoxy is so thick it's not like they're going to float away. :D [/QUOTE]
