[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1670837, member: 2736"] I have tried them all and found that Past wax works best "BUT" you must use a wax that hardens. Of all the wax that is available, I use Birchwood Casey Stock wax. This wax is easy to apply with your fingers, dries in 1 hour and can be wiped off to form a thin smooth surface that will release well. When I use this wax, I make sure that I coat every place that the bedding will/might see and then apply it to the rest of the action to prevent the compound from sticking to an area that I don't want it to, to aid in clean up. When bedding is complete The wax can be easily removed with any solvent and then a coat of oil is used. I also use Lacquer Thinner to clean the action and the stock before applying the wax to the action, being careful not to touch ether stock or the action with any contaminates that would prevent the wax from adhering to the action. and the bedding compound from bonding to the stock. I also recommend using the wax on the action screws to prevent them from sticking. Irregardless of the Type of release agent used, proper prep of all surfaces is a must and this is not a place to get in a hurry. Just what I use J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
