JB Weld for stock bedding (or anything else).

[Splatter]

The last time I bought epoxy for bedding a gunstock, I bought a 1lb "kit" of Devcon, and it was nearly $60.

The other day I discovered that Canadian Tire stocks the big tubes (two tubes of 5oz (i41.8g) each) of the JB WELD epoxy for $20!

So that's 10 ounces of epoxy for 20 bux as opposed to 16 ounces of epoxy for $60!

I've used JB in a pinch and it worked OK but it didn't seem to get as hard as either Devcon or Acraglas gel either of which I prefer.

I've bedded many stocks with JB weld and it always worked out great, usually its just a skim coat anyway, be sure to drill some holes in the stock for a good mechanical lock.

I've used JB weld for bedding with no issues. As mentioned above, assure a good mechanical bond/lock with the stock as with any bedding material.
Paste shoe polish was used as the release agent.

I've used JB weld to bed my 308 and 200rnds down the pipe and no signs of breakdown or wear etc. Works for me.
