[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2715234, member: 122164"] As you can imagine, Dean, I beat everyone by a considerable amount. If I had large pillars contoured to action dia, I would put a skim coat of bedding on top, as you said, then you are good to go in case some idiot puts a 100-inch pound torque wrench on the screws! When you put a magnetic base on the barrel, with an indicator touching the stock, then loosen and tighten the front guard screw with no movement on the indicator dial, this is the "acid test" of your bedding method/results. This dispels the theory that liquid or spray-on-release agents should not work, but real-world testing says differently A guy should tape off the bottom of the recoil lug or relieve it with a straight 1/8" Dremel carbide router bit that only cuts on the bottom(smooth on the sides) The Wax method produces the most beautiful finishes, but I have seen a LOT of new guys have trouble with wax, no trouble with Brownell's Accra Release...none ever .
