All good questions.
First. There is no bedding agents placed in the area of the magazine so don't worry about it. Just put the glass agent in the stock in front of the magazine pocket on the lug shelf forward to about 2 inches of the barrel channel. The other place to put some glass agent is on the flat area in the rear around the rear lug screw. The release agent, liberal amounts of vasoline, grease, wax, etc..., on all metal parts that will or may come in contact with the glassing agent. Use blue edging tape to on your lug. This will provide the thickness of tape clearance for future disassembly. Also use it to line the edge of your stock to prevent the glassing agent to spill out onto the stock. Make sure you use bees wax on your lug screws to prevent agent from contaminating it when initially putting the gun together.
Second. Yes, all parts that you do not want the epoxy to stick to permanently.
Third. No. You want some agent to fall into the lug screw holes. Ideally it makes a pillar type connection perfectly aligning your screws. Wrap your screws with blue masking tape on the unthreaded portion of the screws and put a liberal amount of bees wax on all of the threads.
Fourth. This would be considered full length bedding and doesn't always work. I have tried it more than once unsuccessfully and used a dremel tool to remove it. The theory of full length bedding is sound but the problem is that the barrel still wants to resinate and the added bedding just disturbs the natural order of things.
