I am wondering what release agents are available out there. Normally I use the Brownells aerosol and love it. I really dont care for the blue gunk that comes with the Acra Glas kits.

Thanks

Carnuba wax, 2 or three aplications and do not buff it.

Hornady One Shot Case Lube. Dries fast and clean. Works great. Wax also works quite well, but the One Shot is more convenient and easier to apply in my experience.

Do not every, under any circumstances, let anyone talk you into using Pam. Glass won't stick to it, but it soaks into the wood and makes the biggest mess you ever saw.

I currently use Kiwi shoe water proofing. Its pretty much just wax with bees wax and it works really good. Just about any type of wax will work. I understand the mold release agent sold at boat supplies works good also but never used it. I started using other than bronells cause I kept running out and wax is easy to get and easy to cleaned up.

Paste wax, thinned with some mineral spirits, and applied with a small brush.

By thinning it, and painting it on, it gets into every little crevice. The spirits evaporate quickly, leaving the wax behind.

Works great!

Bees wax applied against a warmed barrel/receiver or snow seal. Bees wax is good for filling places you don't want bedding compound to enter. Modeling clay would probably work for that filling purpose also.

Had a friend use a spray-on of some sort about six years ago on a pre-64 375 with a recoil lug. The gap between the top edges of the lug and barrel filled with glass and created a mechanical bond that resulted in a split stock before the cussing was over and the barrel was free...

Another Johnson's user. I put it on with a toothbrush. Bought my first and only can 25 years ago and I'm having a real hard time using much of it up.
