It sets up fast (25 min) and works very well, you can add more if you need it, and you can drill it. My release agent is simply Saran wrap between the putty and the wood.
Once you get it all where you want it, blue Loctite the action screws, let it set up over night (24 hrs) and sight in your rifle the next day.

Sorry - a little confused here, isn't the thought to use release agent between the barrelled action and the bedded stock?. If you are putting Saran wrap between your wood and bedding won't your bedding be independent of the stock?
If you end up with 3 pieces - the barrelled action, the bedding, and the stock - is that the intent?
