Default RE: Screwed up my Glass Bed Job

I see on here that a lot of you seem to be afraid of the action screws becoming stuck during the bedding process. Here is what I have learned over the past 30 or so yrs. of doing this. Not to say this is the only way, just my way of doing it with little or no problems. I use stockmaker's screws, or bedding screws as some call them. I sometimes slip and call them inletting screws, which is a little different. Available from Brownells, for one. I coat them with the release agent, allow to dry and coat them again. I swab the interior of the screw holes with release agent. After the prep bedding work is done and the 'glass is applied, the prepped barreled action goes in, and the screws are inserted and tightened. I NEVER have had them stick. You can apply a good amount of torque to them. Until I properly learned how to bed a recoil lug, the biggest problem I had was getting things free after the glass was cured. bc did a great job on his first attempt. He learned a lot. He needs to do it again.
