I'm serious, that is a fast setting 2 part epoxy. It cures rock solid. When I did this one, I bedded it with the shim out. Then when testing for accuracy, shoot with shim out: Freefloated barrel. If accuracy is mediocre, try the shim with different barrel tension settings:

Do you still use a release agent and let the action sit as the Steelstik hardens?

Yes sir. Always use release agent. Just like any bedding job, never go full torque when bedding them. After it's cured, then you can torque it down as you like. Of course I don't use a torque wrench. When I say "torque", I am meaning just tighten it down as you normally would. A properly bedded rifle is not sensitive to torque settings. Some guys do not get that, but I have to reiterate that occasionally.
I did exactly that with mine. Works great. And you torque it down after the epoxy hardens.
