Be careful. Some epoxies will “sugar” with time. Acraglass is a cut above. JB weld is the best. All “epoxies” can be removed with heat…… always use two part epoxies……
I started with Acraglas, it was a bit messy I thought, but with my inletting skill it saved a stock or two. Then Brownells came out with fiber glass to add to the Acraglas which made it better. Years later, Acraglas gel came along which was much better IMO, just because it didn't run - less messy. Then several other glass bedding epoxies came along. Yesterday I glass bedded my 300 H&H with Wheeler Bedrock, I also have JB Weld, which I've also used with satisfaction.
Here's my question:
Why is one better than another?
A gunsmith friend told me that Acraglas was too soft - I have not noticed that was a problem. I've never had an issue with Wheeler either. But the Wheeler is just about used up. I have maybe 1/3 of the Acraglas left and enough JB weld to last quite awhile I think. The last time I used Acraglas I used it to stiffen a fore-end in a stock, which it did well I think.
What makes JB Weld the best? Is it the hardest or?
