devcon plastic steel epoxy, putty or liquid ?

[craig700sps]

Im away to bed my rifle and the stuff i can find locally and in the uk is devcon. Which one is better the putty or liquid ?

Ive been looking at a lot of videos on how to do this and the compound seems to be slighty runny and settles nicely before placing the action in the stock.

Does the putty stuff do the same or does it have to be moulded into the stock before the action goes in ?

The liquid is used only for filling voids. You need the putty to bed a rifle. It is very good stuff, and is easy to work with. Hope this helps.

The European SKU is a little different (10112 instead of 10110) but it's the same thing and is what you want. And, yes, that's plenty.

When you ask the right/proper question, you most certainly do!

But once in a while... it's game on!

Good luck with the bedding and look forward to the pictures.

Just an FYI...

Any epoxy can be thickened to just the consistency you want by using fillers.

For bedding an action, powdered aluminum is often used. Any "high density" filler will work. Avoid "low density" fillers as they lack structural properties- usually used in fairing applications for easy sanding.
