I can't say because I've never used it but have been using Johnson's Paste wax for years and like it much better that the release agent that is supplied with Acraglass bedding kits.

Johnson paste wax is a good one as is the mold release wax that comes in the Pro Bed kits.
I've had so-so luck with aerosols but am trying a new one this week on one of my own rifles. -Al

Johnson paste wax or Hornady One Shot, are all I have ever used
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I use and really like Brownell’s aerosol release agent.

I use the aerosol "Acra Release" from Brownells. I know a lot of you guys swear by wax but I worry about being able to get it down into small places well enough. Phil

Just used it on a epoxied screw and the screw backed right out.

Shoe polish works well also.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I’ve even used Vaseline in a pinch. But most anything that costs well and doesn’t affect the bedding material will work.
