Many things will work as a release agent- most of us use Kiwi shoe polish (wally world or K-Mart), neutral color. "Plastic Steel" Devcon 10110 is a type of epoxy, any epoxy release agent will work...
Apply it, let it dry, then buff smooth. Plenty of threads here already on the bedding process, try a search.

2 oz. will be enough to do one rifle unless you really hog out the stock more than is necessary. Unless you plan on other bedding jobs in the near future, I'd get the tubes. I'm not familiar with the 10110 in the liquid form though- others here that have used it might comment on it's viscosity. You don't want it to be too thin, it will run down the sides of the stock before you can position the action correctly.
