Marine Tex is good but lately we have been bedding local PD guns with titanium putty with VERY good results.Stuff has zero shrinkage and can be machined easily if needed.Worth a try.As for release agents we usually just use mold release.I'm sure pam would work too.
Bedding choice : Marinetex or JB weld?

I did my last rifle, a pushfeed Model 70 Winchester in an Electric Blue Laminate Stock, with the Titanium Putty. It DOES indeed work real nice. Didn't even need a skim coat...perfect full bed on first try.....the stuff is a little pricey, but worth it for sure.
P.S., Pam works well with it too...
edited to add: It was Devcon Titanium....

DEVCON. Available from Greggs Distributing in Alberta. As hard as aluminum when finished, you can even drill and tap it!!
Pam does work well but good ald fashioned paste floor was works the best for us.

Tried a new thing yesterday: Using the release agent named SLIDE - mold release - because It was fairily available and more technical than just PAM.
Please do not use this product, or any other mold release. I had a hard time taking off the pieces that were stuck to the BBL, nevermind the "release" part. If anything it would be good as a base for Marinetex to adhere to.
I'm a PAM fan from now.

El Torro;
I was talking to a friend the other day about this topic.
He agreed to the use of Pam, but he also mentioned silicone spray as a release agent. I don't know if that is what you meant whe you mentioned mold release agent. A website I found mentions Aqueous Silicone Spray for releasing the action. http://www.gun-tests.com/performance/nov96beddingjob.html
I haven't used either before, but I'll probably be pillar bedding two rifles in the next few months with the help of my friend. We'll see what works!
Oh, by the way...he uses Marinetex.

I think you will find all bedding products shrink. Get the manufacturer specifications. JB is one of the worst for technical product literature.
As far as release agent goes, they are intended to do one thing.....prevent the adhesive from adhering to the receiver. Just because it is a specialty product specifically designed for the purpose doesn't mean it is the best. Ideally the agent should have zero thickness...in the tenths or less.
