The metal then has release compound applied, before it goes into the bedding epoxy - I use auto paste wax, which results in a smooth bedding surface.

The thin skim of dried bedding compound that's forced over the puttied areas is easily cut out when the putty's removed after the bedding cures; and the dried paste wax is easily rubed off/removed.
