I'm a religious user of West System epoxy for all my gunstock work, but there are other epoxies out there that may well be as good or better. It's just that after using West System (in all its iterations) for decades in the custom yacht business (we bought it in 50 gallon drums) I'm very familiar with it and am reluctant to switch. I've even used it to bed gunstocks, thickened with colloidal silica and colored to varying hues with different agents, with eminently satisfactory results.
