Release agent for JB weld bedding

[A j shooter]

Is there a good release agent I can get most anywhere that works with JB Weld

 

[Walt Krafft]

Paste wax. Johnsons was the old standby. Apply, let dry, buff, repeat.

Neutral shoe polish and Imperial case lube also work well. Some also use the Hornady Hot Shot case lube.

This is the best one I've used over the years.

As far as what's been suggested here, I think the only thing I'd consider readily available would be the shoe polish.

When using the Redding Imperial Die Wax, do you put on more than one coat and do you buff out?

Butcher’s bowling alley wax.

 

[HonkinDonky]

One shot case lube works very well.

Brownells Acra Release is the best I've used. I don't do so much epoxy bedding that cost is much of a factor. Carnauba Paste Wax is a good thing as well if you can find it.

One can only apply ONE coat of any wax. Most if not all wax has a solvent base,and is classified as an evaporative (sp?) finish. Whether the coating is one hour old, or one decade, the next coat dissolves any wax left on the surface and the carrier evaporates, leaving one coat. That's the way it is...

^^^ this is correct, however applying multiple coats does ensure that all surfaces are covered.

I do multiple coats to negate the possibility of missing any spots.

I used Armor All wheel protectant on the action the last time I used JB Weld for bedding. It worked fine.

We are in absolute violent agreement on that one. Unintended glue ins are a pain in the ass! I have been using CRC Lecithin spray release lately. Of course, after I figure I like it, they discontinue it.

This is why I prefer a spray, mold-release agent. Gets into every nook and cranny, it's impossible to have any voids in coverage. I'll spray inside the receiver as well before packing it with clay. Any epoxy manages to seep in where it's not wanted it comes right off.
