[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1670876, member: 2736"] The only problem I had with shoe polish was the non hardening requirements for shoes that Made it more susceptible to being displaced when applying the bedding compound. I had to be real careful when inserting the barreled action into the bedding. NOTE It was going away better than the film release agents supplied about not slipping. The only reason I switched to stock wax is because of the hardening feature that eliminated one more possible problem. If everything goes well. any good wax will work better than the film type release. I also tried the sprays, and found them not dependable in there coverage. To be predictable, I even use one type of bedding compound as long as it is available for the same. I have bedded hundreds of different actions and each has their on rules, so a good dependable bedding and release agent only helps to deal with other issues that present themselves. Using my fingers, I can push wax in any crease or pin/screw hole with confidence knowing that it is protected from bonding of the bedding compound. It may be slower, but this stage is not a good place to try and save time. If it sticks, you will spend a lot more time trying to get the action out of the stock and may end up placing it in the freezer over night to get it out, and if bedding gets in the wrong place and mechanically locks the action to the stock, you may lose the stock.
