The risk of gluing the action to the stock adds a bit of nervous anticipation to the whole equation. I would never be capable of leaving the job alone for 8 hours so I set up a little heater to keep the bedded action at about 35C which cures the epoxy hard enough to remove in about 2 hours.
I have never stuck one (OK maybe one minor issue). I have read that if there is a bit of a problem, letting it freeze solid in the deep freeze will shrink the steel enough to make the break-out easier?
