Laid up with a head cold, raining, no Acraglas, or Devcon, none nearby. TONS of J-B Weld.
Can you bed with this stuff? Should I? Anyone done it?
Thanks.

Rifles that are built for SR Benchrest are bedded, and have the action glued in with J-B...

VA,
I've bedded several 22 RF Rifles with JB, but no centerfires. If you keep the JB below the stock line out of sight, it's ok. But, it dries to a dark gray color, and looks crappy is above the stock line. I've had no trouble with any of the rifles I used it on, and some I've shot a lot. My rationale is, JB is an epoxy. When it hardens, does it have less strength than Acraglass, or Devcon which I've used for bedding? I don't know the answer, but I would not hesitate to use it for a centerfire. The mixed consistency of JB makes for an easy bedding job. I keep everything needed at the side of the stock for installation as soon as I put the JB in it's future home.

Point is, it does hold up for bedding. I've bedded rails and scope rings with J-B's.

The early reply was to AJ.
Don, thanks. It's a 7.62x39 mini-mauser, so there's really not that much recoil force to deal with. Tape, and a razor-knife, help with the "goo factor".

That abomination that you posted where Bubba used JB Weld to glue his scope mount on got you thinking?
If it were me I would wait until Brown delivered some Acraglass.

I've seen people swear by J-B in its various forms, as well as Devcon. Epoxy is epoxy. I used Acraglas for a long time, still have some, and then went to Marine-Tex. That's always available at marine supply places, it hardens faster and is much easier to use for me than is Acraglas. From my use of J-B on a number of things I'd say it's quite similar to Marine-Tex.

And don't scratch anything important with JB Weld on your fingers.

Pics coming....
She's in the gun vise setting right now. Just got done.
I'll pull the screws again at 1800, and then do the 6-hour remove.
If anything, I think I might have gone a little light on the amount of J-B.
Johnson's Paste wax everywhere I thought could possibly be contacted, and Hornady One-Shot over that, and outside that area, and on the screws.
Ran the screws up and in to set. Waited a few, then pulled them back out to clean the J-B off the threads, then back up and in again, with a fresh shot of One-Shot in the screws again before they went in.
We'll see....
