I buy it in the pound containers. $30.03+$7.94 for shipping. I much prefer it over accraglass for bedding compound. It is also cheaper than marine tex.

Do you add any of the silica thickening agent? I haven’t as it seems the basic mix is plenty thick in itself. He went over yonder way

Works well on timber stocks as well. Cheers.

Make your own, I use G-2 epoxy, mini-fibers, carb-a-sil and a colourant. A nice walnut brown. No sense being ugly. You can hunt longer with wind at your back

Go to Hobby lobby and buy the miniature trowels and thank me later. It is by far my favorite for bedding although I have never used Devcon then again I never had a need to look elsewhere.
