Try riflestocks.tripod.com/bedding.html or www.acraglas.com/ my favorite www272.pair.com/stevewag/...kbed3.html

I use plasticine or plumbing mastic for my dams, and lots of release agent. I relieve the barrel channel to free-float the barrel, use sockets from a socket set that match the channel diameter and use them to back the sandpaper and sand gently to free-float. I then put 3 wraps of electricians tape around the barrel just prior to bedding about an inch back from the stock fore end to ensure free-floating. Make sure no release agent gets on the glass area as this will not bond.

I'm sure you will find an online source, but I'll tell you somthing. AGI (American Gunsmithing Institute) sells a video on glass bedding, and in it they bed mausers into both a wooden stock and a synthetic one. There were a LOT of little tips in it that I've never seen anywhere else. The guy teaching in the video is about as dry as sandpaper, so the tape also doubles as a cure for insomnia, but man does he know his stuff. I watched, took some notes, and have been a bedding fool ever since. It's worth a look if you ask me.
