Thread: Release agent

I should really take a video next time I have to bed something and just show how quick and easy it is to use a spray wax as a release agent. The longest part is filling the holes in the action with plasticene or the like. It also stops the plasticene dams from sticking to the barrel etc and falling out of the stock. No chance of missing a spot or accidentally gluing bits together as well.

It's literally a spray, shake the excess off, leave to dry and ready to glue. Takes longer to type than do, but each to their own.

I also use this same spray wax technique when doing things like bedding bases and mounts, clean the base or mount and a quick spray onto the action then cast the shim in place using epoxy. Once dry, torque to spec... Never had one shift yet.
