crack repaired

the acraglas did the trick for the crack inside the stock. i will drill a tiny hole at the end of the crack in the wrist. question: now that I am ready to bed the action, i've read that paste wax or car wax is a better release agent than what the acraglas stuff is. that true? i've placed electrical tape on the bottom of the action and will stuff all nooks and crannies with modeling clay. what am i forgetting? should I stuff clay in action screw holes?

use waw on the action screws, before bedding, place masking tape along the barrel channel and anywhere you think glass can come in contact with the wood. do not tighten the action screws all the way but just snug. also, before doing this, stand the rifle up on its stock and just bump it slightly to allow the recoil lug to seat.
remember too, you can use household vineagar to wipe the uncured glass off. sounds like you have done a good job.
hope this helps.

No need to use anything else with it, just apply it, let it dry, polish it a little
and slap it on top of the bedding..
Fill all the void with modeling clay and apply the polish over that too.... You will need screws in the action holes or you'll fill them up.. usually they are headless, and just give you a good alignment for setting the glas..... Clean up the excess before it completely hardens...
Kiwi neutral shoe polish is the best release agent you'll ever need.

If I were you, I would put pillars in that wood stock, if it has a floor plate, and bottom metal. I use Brownells Steel bed to do this and for any bedding work I do.
