G96:bedding release agent???

No idea. Paste wax works. You do not want to try something that might work, and then find out it doesn't.
 
vaseline......... PAM cooking spray...... 2 of my favorites

and i use Marine fix fast by goop as a bedding compound. MUCH more durable than JB weld and you get more for your $$$ try RONA.

You bed m14s with something that sets in 5min? Takes me that to ensure that I have epoxy in all the troughs routed out, and horizontal/vertical areas. Mostly been using devcon, so there is some luxury there though.

What issues have you had with JB BTW?
 
doesn't privide a good enough bond for me.... mind yo i sell my stocks so these are not for personal use.....


the marine fix fast does not actually set hard in 5 mins...... and if you adjust the ratio or better yet.... apply it in a colder environment.... set time is delayed. 256 stocks later and not one complaint from customers ;)

I am not saying it is the be all end all bedding compound...... but it is a quality product that chemically bonds to fiberglass.
 
I use Marine Tex as a bedding agent and Johnston Paste Wax as a release I am not convinced a spray release agent is that effective and there is a chance that by actually touching the sprayed area you can remove the release agent

I coated my M14 with PAM. Some of the JB-WELD stuck to the frame of the rifle regardless that is was completely "greased" with Pam. I left it there and reassembled the rifle after cleaning up the over ooze. The bedding is even but 1/2 is stuck to the wood, and the other 1/2 is stuck to the frame. The JB-Weld must have displaced the Pam and bonded to the metal?

That sucks. Are you talking about the stock we bedded at the clinic on Saturday? I thought we used another type of CLP, not PAM?

guess I'm not gonna take any chance's... i'll use good old fashion wheel bearing grease or turtle wax.

So I guess all I've got to do is apply a thin film over metal and rub off excess?


I also remember that we didn't use any playdoh to fill the heal of the reciever, did you get a lot of overflow inside the stock in that area? should I have to put playdoh in that area?

My stock is sitting there all dremeled-out, taped up and somewhat ready to be bedded, I'm eager to get this done.
 
Don't use G96, you will have problems. I know that from having to chip off the JB that inadvertently spilled over onto part of a receiver.

The JB seems to absorb or displace thin release agents. I've used clear Kiwi shoe polish and that worked well.

I used fiberglass on Saturday and it didn't hold to the wood.
Used J-B Weld yesterday and it did a nice job, however the Pam did not work correctly and some weld stuck to the metal. You can't tell when rifle is assembled.

YES, use putty in the heel, mine leaked into the cavity and broke of the material and a bit of wood when I released the rifle from the stock. Nothing you can see, but a PITA regardless. So use putty to prevent bedding from "locking" receiver to stock.

It does look real nice all assembled though. If the bedding fall off eventually, I will rebed now that I know how.

Go to shoot a few round thru it on weekend.

I use an autobody release agent for fibreglass called
"Partall". It paints on and dries like a thin skin of saran wrap.
Never had a failure with it.
It washes off with alcohol.
 
I just spread an even greasy layer of kiwi over the metal and left it at that. Did it shortly before mixing up the epoxy and putting it all together. Its not like release compounds that dry, its more like vaseline.
