planeflyer21 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 acra glas gelI think Tom meant "What type of material is the stock you are bedding?" Wood, synthetic, fiberglass...Acra-Gel has a defininte learning curve to it (as do the -Glas and -Steel).Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackleberry2000 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Inused it once on a old mauser sporter. You got the pain in the arse right. I just started using full pillar bedded stocks. Like them better anyway for accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripledeuce Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I don't understand your problems with AG gel. I'v used it for over 20 years, and never had any problems.. And, I'v used it to pillar bed. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully Terry Well, Terry this is the first I've used this type of material I was expecting something more akin to resin or bondo/west systems epoxy.This stuff was so thick and sticky I could hardly mix it. I'm not knocking the product I just think that next go around I will try something that I'm more familiar with. BTW the action came back out of the stock easier than I thought it would.

Tripledeuce Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 As far as I'm concerned, thats one of the nice things about the gel! Put it where you want it, it dosen't move except to squeeze out when you put the metal in the stock. I used to use the regular acc=glass. and THAT was a PITA. Stuff was so thin, it would run all over the place. You had to bed stocks in "sections" so the stuff didn't run where you didn't want it.
