[QUOTE="Eccentric, post: 1636517, member: 83480"] For bedding I use Brownells Acraglass Gel and Marine Tex (whichever I have on hand). Both work well. I order small quantities, as the stuff can sit around for a long time between bedding jobs and I like my epoxies to be fresh as they seem to be more consistent. Although both are available locally (Acraglass Gell 'kits' at Sportsmans, and Marine Tex at hardware and boat supply stores), they often collect dust sitting on shelves for a LONG time. I've used regular JB Weld (not 'quickweld') for bedding pillars and other small jobs. Works great for that. I've done a whole action/pillar bedding job with JB Weld before, but it's really a bit too thin/runny for the job. I use clear Kiwi shoe polish for a release agent. Sometimes I also use Hornady One-Shot case lube, depending on the project. Knock-on-wood...............I haven't had anything 'lock up' yet. Not a pro. Just a homegamer. I cut my own pillars from various length aluminum spacers bought through Amazon. [/QUOTE]
