i use the clear kiwi shoe polish. Works fine for me.
Just dont heat the rifle too much to help the epoxy/compound cure . It melts the shoe polish and you have to freeze the rifle to get it apart....
I accidently put a 100w light bulb in my homemade warmer box one time when bedding a M70 for a mateI had to drill out around the action screws (gouged them up a bit) and froze the rifle to get it apart. It cost me $30 for new screws but turned out mint in the end though
