[QUOTE="WapitiBob, post: 2715056, member: 38015"] A liquid release agent has nowhere to go when you load the action into the bedding mtl and it pools. Use KIWI hard shoe polish or a liquid that dries very thin and you can buff; you can apply KIWI directly, then "polish" with a rag. After that I wipe a rag on a piece of the wax then polish the action a 2nd time with my finger tip in the rag. The release agent will be invisible if you polished it correctly. For bedding I now use marine tex grey, way cheaper than devcon and has 13,000 compressive strength. WD-40 on a q tip does wonders to remove the squeeze out. The only place I use tape is at the tang. The finish on your action plays a big part in the finish of your bedding as well. This is a Defiance, my factory Rem never had a shiny bedding job. I did both of these this week.
