I use a liberal application of silicon lube spray.

I use a liberal application of silicon lube spray.

Is that for a full length Bedding? I know lots of the release agent they sell with the kits doesn’t work really well.

I have used SnoSeal boot wax, very happy with results

Yeah, the stuff in those kits doesn't work very well. I have also used paste wax. Silicone spray and paste wax are both available at most hardware stores. I know one fella who uses Hubbards boot grease apparently with good effect.

I have used Johnsons Paste wax, Fluoro-Carbon spray on mold release, I tried PAM (Forget that one).

Remember when working with epoxy bedding, steel bed, or Brownells Acraglass kits, the adhesive is guaranteed to flow where you don't want it to. I always remove my trigger components, plug screw holes with putty or Johnson's wax.

My go to mold release is right here. I have used it on more customers guns than I can remember. https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/gun-tools/stock-bedding/acra-release/

Johnson’s paste wax in every nook and cranny. Use small artist brush or Qtip for tight areas. Also make sure of no mechanical lock.

I’ve used Johnson paste wax and Brownells spray release agent. Both work really well for me.

Another vote for Johnson's paste wax.

I use Imperial sizing wax, especially good on the screws and threads. I've used other things, but this is my go to. I also always have it handy, as I use it for sizing brass.

I use Hornady One Shot spray. I spray and let it dry about 3 times before I do my bedding. It works well and I have never had anything stick. It is way easy to clean off. I think any of the sprays being discussed should work fine as long as you make sure you coat things well enough. More of a product in this case is always better in my opinion.

Kiwi neutral shoe/boot wax and Marine Tex.

Shoe wax of any kind or Hornady One Shot.

+1 works a treat both times I’ve used it! The Kiwi boot polish. Dabbed on with a sponge.

The kiwi shoe polish is my go to, and kids plasticine/ modelling clay to fill holes etc and also as a damming compound to stop the bedding compound from flowing up the barrel channel
