Brownells Spray on Release agent
« on: March 18, 2003, 02:10:27 AM »
Has anyone ever used this.  I sprayed in on last night.  On the instructions, it says it is a "non-drying" formula.  How well does this stuff work?  I've always used the "brush" on release agent that comes with the acra-glass.  I'm a bit concerned about using this.  It doen't leave a dry film, more like a slightly tacky, oily film.  Should I go ahead and contine the bedding process using this?

Hi Stratocaster, I havent used their spray on agent, but if it is from Brownells and you followed the instructions you should have no prob. Save your self some money next time, and use Pam cooking spray. Doesnt matter what flavor, I've used it on over 20 rifle beding projects without a prob. Good luck,  Rustyirn.
It aint the gun nut. Its the nut behind the trigger.

Thanks rustyirn.
Does the pam cooking spray leave a dry film?  It sound like a great idea!
Thanks

Hi Stratocaster, No the spray never seems to dry. I think thats the same with Brownells product. I never had a problem. The epoxie wont stick to it!   Good Luck!  Rustyirn.  P.S. If it does stick with the  Brownells product try puting the whole project in the freezer for 24 hrs and then rapping the barrel on a hard (paded) surface. It should come free.

Used it when bedding a Savage 110 last fall.  Works great, just follow the directions...

stratocaster,
I've used the Brownells' spray release many times. Its all I ever use. It works as advertised.

The Acra-release in the spray can is what I have been using for a few years now. I have gotten used to it and seldom use anything else. It wont dry, always looks wet. It is very thin and gives very close contact between the stock and metal.

I use Pam also. Works just as well or better than the Brownells stuff.
