Planning to bed a Bansner stock for a Remington 700. Being that these stocks come unfinished, I’ll need to add some compound around the tang, not only to bed it but also fill in some around the edges and rear to make it look perfect. Anyway, is there a bedding compound that is sandable and paintable? If the typical bedding compounds won’t hold paint well I guess I could bed with one material and then fill in any visible low spots with another material? Any suggestion on what to use for the filler in that case?
Thanks,
Mike

Most epoxies can be sanded and painted once cured.
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

I've been known to fill small voids and low spots with good ol' Bondo, especially on the early Brown Precision stocks.
That said, all of the bedding materials mentioned as well as Acra-Glass/Gel are sandable.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

I have used 2 part epoxy as well as the Bondo spot filler. Of the 2, I prefer the epoxy but both work well.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
