JBSteelStik for bedding a stock?

[ArmyJerry]

Has anyone tried this putty to bed a stock, I normally use devcon or regular JB to bed but just wondering if this putty would be easier to work with.

Haven't tried it, but when I put that stuff on my bolt to make a new handle, I found out how quick it sets up... Your looking at 5 minutes before its rock hard. I suppose you'd be done faster but you would have no time to scrape excess or make it look pretty without a dremel. Just my .02.

It does a great job for extended bolt handles, but I really wouldn't trust it for a bedding job, it's a bit thick and sets too quickly. I'd suggest doing it right, there's a reason that it has been done the same way for decades.

The longer the cure time, the stronger the material with the least shrinkage is the general rule

This is why I check in here with my genius ideas before I try. Thanks gents, Devcon it is.

I use the stick a lot for random applications, but for bedding a stock I use the paste you have to mix. The problem I found with the stick is that it is hard to stick to the surface of a lot of areas. I definitely wouldnt try it for a bedding job. If you do try it though, spit on your fingers to rub it into the surface. Otherwise it with just keep lifting up and stick to your fingers
