Rifle bedding ... Devcon vs. Accuglass?

[CyaN1de]

I have used mostly JB weld for my bedding jobs, have also tried MarineTex and the next job will be done with Devcon Plastic Steel.

I have been happy with the JB so far.

Someone stated not to scrimp on the release agent.....not sure what they meant but the release agent should be applied to all surfaces of the action and then buffed off so it is only a micro-thin layer that remains, you should not have gobs of the stuff on your action since you want to have as little between the action and the bedding as possible. The ACRAGLASS (not accuglass) release agent is truly horrible since it puts a .001-.002 layer of gunk between the action and the bedding and if you apply more in one section than another you are not getting a proper bed of the action. I use Mothers Liquid Carnuba wax applied with a brush and then polished of with a paper towel.

Bedding

I remember my first bedding job,boy was I worried. But I got me some Marine Tex and I looked up all the info I could on the net. 'You Tube' has some great videos by the way and like some already said take your time enjoy it, and when it came apart for me I sure was impressed and for sure my accuracy was better for it. Now the Marine Tex was pricey and I really think you could use any one of the products mention here. But since I heard the marines used it well then it was good enough for me LOL. The stuff I used was white so I painted it black and never looked back.
Good luck

You can get it in Grey, I had to have them order it in as apparently the Grey resin dries out faster than the white so they did not stock it at the marine shop.
