Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Release agent report

. I tried some neutral Kiwi shoe polish on a small bedding job. The stuff really works good.

Why would anyone use anything but Brownells glass bedding supplies ?

You bet, its dandy stuff, the Kiwi clear paste; I have used it for years as a release agent. I also use the old Johnson's paste wax. Either one puts on a nice thin coat.

There, fixed it for you.

I've been using One Shot for a while, and the stuff just works! Super easy to apply (just spray it on), wipes off easily, rifle pops right out of the stock. Can't be beat in my experience...

I'm going to pop one in a bit, I hope you're right

Been using carnuba wax, but a friend told me 1 shot was the bees knees. I will say it levels very well and is a breeze to put on.

WHICH Hornady one shot?????.....

Make sure you use the Case Lube One Shot. There is a cleaning One Shot also by Hornady. The Case Lube version is AWESOME as a release agent.

Thanks! I'll try it on my next one!

Cost comes to mind . . . . . .

x 1000000000000

Popped one last night where I used 1 shot case lube. Worked like a champ. Defintely came out easier than the wax I've been using.

Yeah, that cost is a BIG issue. Bedding a $1000 barreled action in a $1500 stock ....
heck you could even save more money by bedding it in Bondo.

Soaking a gun in salt water is also a cheap way to "rust" blue it too.

There are other sources of some of the same products, Devcon being one. Of course Brownell's own brand name products are exclusive. There are also competing products. It's not just a choice between Brownell's and the hardware store. And if somebody can get a product like Devcon at a better price from some other source, why not? As was mentioned in another thread, Brownell's doesn't try to compete on price.

Brownell's stuff is good, but I've never felt compelled to use their products exclusively.

Tough to whoop OneShot.............

Me neither (hey Stick, no foolin'). I think it's more what product you're used to, most of the products commonly used seem to do fine. Each seems to have its little quirks and once you get comfortable with a product it's easy to just stay with it.

Never was into making easy schit difficult and results have never not interested me.

If you ain't spraying the release,you are pissing up a rope..............

Truer words were never spoken.

After you spray the OneShot, does the stuff haze up first or dry?

or do you just spray and go.

Shake like a bastard(akin to spray paint),spray and let it set. Lay up glass in stock and after that time,reapply the release agent,before setting barreled action into place.................

Thanks Stick.
