This has been covered as noted but a couple things are worth repeating.
1) Mask off everything!! Yes everything. I've used J-B Weld to bed a number of stocks and it works great but you will be amazed where some of that stuff ends up.
2) Apply your release agent to everything that you don't want bonded together- yes everything! Again, in the process of bedding a rifle you will end up with whatever bedding agent you choose in places you didn't think possible. Yes this is a giant pita to clean up but it is much, much better than the alternative.
3) Be prepared to re-bed. Don't know which action you're bedding but with pillars, and especially with a stagger-feed mag well I have found that the best, cleanest jobs are doe in at least 2 stages. Others on here may have better skills and/or more experience but for me a clean solid pillar bedding of a stagger-feed means having it apart a couple of times. Not that you have to re-do everything but there are going to be areas you want to fill in a little more, or dremel out and correct etc- its a personal choice for sure.
Wait at least 24 hours before trying to pop it out of the stock. Trust me on this one.
What are you bedding?

Nandy i apologize if i offended you. That was not my intent. I am doing a 243 centerfeed that i am hoping to convert to a 6.5 creedmoor single shot. I made my own stock out of a blank so there is no way i have the wood working skills to make a really tight fit in the action area hence the bedding question.

Have you looked into Marine-Tex gray (not the white) I have read about a lot of people using it for bedding. I have not used it, but it seems to come at a good price, compared to Devcon Plastic Steel putty.
