Use spray on cooking spray rather than the two other release agents you mentioned. I have never used play-dough for a dam. I use modeling clay. It does not dry. Devcon works well. So does Acraglas, Acragel, and Marine-Tex (my personal favorite). I have not heard of any having adverse reactions to the laminate woods, but would further check on that (perhaps with the stock manufacturer).
If I were bedding your rifle and wanted it free floated, I would bed the rear action screw, the front screw/recoil lug area, and the first two inches of the barrel (basically three-point bedding). Since its a semi-finished stock (as in you don't want to sand bedding compound off), I would recommend taping off the areas of the stock you don't want bedding compound on. The stuff gets everywhere. Blue masking tape works just fine.
