The bedding is instantly recognizable as a layer of resin that appears as a mirror imprint of the action. Be aware however, that not all bedding jobs are a success. If the rifle has been bedded prior to your ownership of the rifle, but the rifle is in-accurate, it may well need to be re-bedded with better attention to detail.
Please also be aware that many companies now advertise their production rifles as factory bedded when in truth, the rifles have no such bedding. A common marketing tool is the use of the term 'pillar bedded'. Unfortunately, the addiction of two steel tubes pillars does not in any way constitute a bedding job. As suggested, true bedding is recognizable as a layer of epoxy within the stock which produces a mirror imprint of the action. But also as suggested, looks can be deceiving.

Tip: You'll have no worries about lost screws when you work on your gun if you own the Pachmayr Gun Screw Set.
It's a piece set that includes a dozen each of 23 screws that fit common applications in many firearms. While the bolt is in place, I load dummy shells into the magazine to ensure the action feeds properly. If it doesn't feed properly while dry fitting, adding bedding compound will only magnify the problem. If everything fits, disassemble the small parts from the receiver.
A trick I use when disassembling a firearm I'm not familiar with is to take a photo with my camera so I remember where everything goes and am able to recall the photo for reference when reassembling the rifle. For glass bedding, the only parts needed are the action, action screws and the floor plate assembly. The small parts like the magazine box and trigger should either be removed or if some doubt exists how to reassemble, fill the areas in question, with clay. As the rifle is disassembled, examine the existing bedding job.
This not only serves as a guideline of how the stock is bedded, but shows whether the stock and its bedding have stood up to the recoil of repeated firings.

This is known as mechanical lock. Take my word for it; the action can be a bear to remove, often damaging the gun stock , the receiver or both. To prevent the bedding compound from entering these nooks and crannies, place clay into the voids. I like children's clay for its easy cleanup.

The tape creates a small gap around the recoil lug allowing the barreled action to be released from the stock more easily. Release agent will become your best friend while glass bedding a rifle.
Many of the manufacturers that sell bedding compound sell release agents; however, I prefer Johnson's paste wax for ease of use and control with little residue left behind after the job is completed.
To apply, place a liberal amount on your fingers, and then spread and thin the wax on the action and barrel. If in doubt, apply wax. Don't forget the action screws, floor plate and any parts that will be installed into the stock while the compound is curing.
The bedding compound is usually a two-part epoxy with two equal parts mixed together.
