kip270 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Guy's, I have searched high and low but can't seem to find any Epoxy to do three of my rifles. I have seen them do it on How to Shoot Beyond Belief and Darrel Hollands pillar bedding DVD, but i am struggling to find any (my dad has a lathe so making the pillars is sorted) Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Kip, I use aerospace epoxy resins from this company R&G The trick is you can use a resin with a potlife of between 25min to over 2 hours. This resin can be used to reinforce glass carbon or kevlar fibres or can be mixed with glas, talcum or aluminium powder to form a paste. This company has also got all the release agents needed. While bedding you could also stiffen the first part of your stock. If you need a quick fix, go to a modell aeroplane shop they mostly carry some laminating epoxy resin. Don't get the quick setting epoxy it's useless. Laminating epoxy is quite thin flowing meaning it can be loaded with high ammounts of minerals or fibres. If you have no filler to thicken up the resin talkum powder can do the job. If you can't get talcum powder use baby powder. (as a last resort) Let me know if you are really stuck. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kip, trust me, use a steel bedding compound.I,ve used ALL the rest, and we sell acraglass too....they are a poor alternative to devcon, or hysol, which are very easy indeed to use, and for a beginner, much safer, and less chance of a cock up.They are stiffer when mixed, and wont get everywhere.

ejg223 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The devcon route is the first choice for a quick job. Stay clear of quick setting epoxies they are not as stiff and strong as the long setting types. If one wants to go a step further a good option is to use carbon fibres to transfer the dynamic load of the recoil into especially a timber stock. Which can be done with laminating resins fibres and fillers. The stiffer the bedding the more a rifle works as one unit. I prefer to bed not only the receiver front and back but also the trigger unit while at it. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
