[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1670802, member: 26077"] Tried many different things, blue gel, PAM, WD40, Johnson, Kiwi, Imperial wax, Case lube and a bunch of others. Most of the liquid ones don't dry and don't leave a thin smooth finish. What a guy wants is a release agent that goes on very thin, perfectly smooth and easy to apply. After years of trial I have found that any Carnuba based paste wax is the best solution and best if it does not contain silicone of Teflon. Apply a coat, buff to a shine after drying, apply a second coat and do the same. I have never worried about degreasing the barrel or action. I use modeling clay to fill any voids. The Carnuba wax provides a perfectly smooth and even shiny finish in the Devcon bedding, releases very easily. One thing when bedding, you are better to leave the bedding at least 24 hours before popping the action out as it gives a much smoother finish and releases far better. Many guys pop them out too soon because they are worried about the action sticking in the stock. [/QUOTE]
