It works very similarly to any epoxy-based compound. Just make sure to use plenty of release agent.

I've used it with success.

Others will be along to say I didn't.

And so it goes.

I usually use Devcon, for jits and shiggles I used JB Weld and it worked too. I did not use the fast set stuff though.


When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Devcon 10110 putty is the best I've used.

I stored it in the Fridge and it worked great two years later.

A guy on Longrangehunting did an experiment a few years ago ,he made some one inch blocks using JB weld ,Devcon and another epoxy of some type.
He didn't use any kits designed for bedding though.

Anyway his intentions were to measure the one inch cubes over time and see which bedding material would shrink over time.
Devcon was best that's why I ordered some ,but JB Weld has worked fine on a couple of rifles I bedded years ago.
Steer clear of the fast set up stuff as stated ,it outran me once and was a lot of work hogging it out.

This is the stuff I use. It takes a day to cure.

JB Weld worked OK for me, but it was a bit runny. If you let it set up a while first, it is easier to work with.
But the peanut butter like Devcon 10110 is my favorite.

Yep, that's the quick stuff. It works great in barrel channels, but I wouldn't recommend it for bedding compound on the receiver (recoil lug/tang) of the rifle. The regular ol "industro" type works well for that....I buy the 15 oz tube and use it when I'm out of devcon 10110...

I have used most of the stuff out there. I cannot say I like devcon or any of the others better than JB weld.

I've used JB and it worked fine. It is a bit runnier than I like. Devcon, warmed up a bit with a hair dryer, is easier to work with in my opinion.

Exactly the reason I prefer JB. I like for the barreled action to find its own level. Devcon steel does not compress as much as I like. I like Devcon Aluminum better than the steel, but prefer JB weld. I have not had a problem with any of the bedding I have done with JB weld and I think I first started using it sporadically about 4 years ago.

I've used it a couple of times. Let it setup just for a few minutes first if you don't want it runny.

For mine, in exactly two hours you can remove the action without disturbing the bedding.
