Gunsmithing Miles Gilbert Release Agent for JB Weld?

[acebanana]

I was going to "bed" a scope base, got some JBKwik and planned on using some Kiwi Black shoe polish I have on hand for the release agent but I found a Miles Gilbert Bedrock kit my buddy used a while back that still has a good bit of release agent in it, was wondering if anyone knew for sure if I could use that instead of the shoe polish for JBkwik?

Thanks

I've always used Kiwi clear and never had a problem. Don't know about the release agent.

Thanks, I used it on some scrap pieces of steel and it did the trick.

As a side note, I've only ever saw Kiwi neutral mentioned as a release agent, is there any reason Kiwi black wouldn't work?

Wouldnt work any different. Most like the neutral so youre not getting black shit everywhere.
