I actually prefer to bed when it is warm. I make sure I do all of my prep and have nothing left to do except mix the bedding and lay it. It took a few try's to get it right, now I have a checklist.
The reason I like it warm is because the bedding compound flows a lot better and will not create pockets of air. Yes you do have to work faster but the result is better. But whatever works best for you is the best way to do it.

I am curious to know your results.

I agree with the warm bit but we are having 100+f at present. I wont be doing anything for a week or so as I am off on a hunting trip up to North Queenland chasing chital deer and hogs and brumbies.

I'll let you know how I get on with the bedding.

Just bought one of these in left handed myself. First thing I noticed was the barrel was not free floated on both sides so the dremel fixed that. Next up noticed there was a rolled pin in the front of the action that was making contact with the stock as well, cleaned this area out. Finally checked the scope bases and they were so loose it amazed me.
Havent had a chance yet to shoot it but any of the three areas I mentioned could easy cause accuracy problems.

I'm not sure what to expect at 50 yards with this rifle, but for $350 if it groups at .6 or so for 5 shots I got my moneys worth:)

At last I have resloved the problem that brought me to write the origanal thread, "Will not shoot". As I intermated throughout the tread it was related to the bedding. Once I followed the bedding instructions and pillar bed the action etc groups shrank to what one would expect one little ragged hole.
Thanks fella's for your help and suggestions I have picked up a few tips which is great.
Thanks again Wahbi
