Toilet bowl ring wax and butter-flavored imitation Pam. Now thinking some Kiwi or premium stuff might be nice to try....

Never have had a problem with Kiwi neutral shoe polish and a can will probably last longer than you will. Had a gunsmith tell me it provides the thinnest coat of any type of release agent he knew of, which is a good thing.

Have heard a few horror stories when Pam was used as a bedding release agent!

I currently use Brownells Acra-Release, have used Pam. A close friend that knows his stuff uses Kiwi Neutral and pointed out that you really don't even need to remove it afterward as it protects the metal if left on.

Johnson's Paste Wax. We had a can in the house already when I did my first bedding job 25 years ago. My wife is probably still wondering what happened to it. grin

It is also an excellent rust preventative.

I've never used it, but Kiwi Neutral shoe polish is used by many.

For glass bedding a barreled action to a stock or a scope mount to an action, many things will work as a release agent.

Asking what is the best release agent for gunsmthing is like asking what home found object makes the best door stop.

But for industrial purposes, there may be additional constraints.
I have designed a lot of aerospace magnetics [like transformers] that were potted in many sequential stages with many epoxy like products to get matching thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity, and resist shock and vibration.
These processes are often proprietary, but usually include a vacuum chamber. They cover objects in epoxy. They pull a vacuum. The trapped air forms huge bubbles that rise to the surface. They break the vacuum. The epoxy rushes in and fills the voids. The epoxy is allowed to cure in an oven. Then on to the next type of epoxy product used in layers.

Maybe that is why Boeing so often uses high vacuum grease release agent for factory tooling epoxy, when, like with gunsmthing, anything will do.
They already have the stuff lying around.

I have used it on guns, and it is no better than whatever is within reach, like reloading case lube.
