Devcon Plastic Steel Putty, 1 lb., Black with Metallic Finish

Hey, this stuff isn't cheap, but it is the best product for rifle bedding, particular rifle bedding. Mixing can be bit tedious, it's not 1:1 like many epoxies. I used a small electronic kitchen scale to weigh out the necessary 9:1 ratio of the two compounds. Be careful to not cross-contaminate the two separate ingrediant containers, so as not to cause the ingrediants to react and set-up. In the back pillar area of the wood stock, I had removed too much material. When applying the somewhat stiff epoxy blend, it was fairly easy to build a small dam with blue masking tape coated with neutral shoe polish (releasing agent) and fill in the area with epoxy, while seating the rear pillar area. I gave it 24 hours to cure, after that it was fairly easy to use a small metal pick to remove/trim any small excess epoxy. The result was a solid rifle assembly and stock, with a free floating barrel. I also used this epoxy to bed the scope rail to the rifle barrel, assuring a tight seal and hopefully improving accuracy. Check the Internet for several good instructional YouTube videos about rifle pillar bedding and other epoxy uses for more information. This product amazed me with quality and utility. The package has enough product to do 6-10 similar bedding projects. I am sure that you can find many other great uses of this Devcon product.

It's good stuff. BUT, use a release agent on your rifle barrel and action, buff it bright and then put another coat on for good measure, and watch out for mechanical locks or you are in for more fun than a barrel of monkeys trying to separate the parts once they are cured. Shoe polish or Johnson's Paste Wax works good and plumber's putty in all of the holes. Take care to put release agent on the action screws and trying to keep it out of pillars is a good idea, especially if there is a shoulder on the false action screws like on Score High adjustable pillars. I have had a few people show up with an action solidly affixed to their stock and then used dry ice to break the Devcon loose and/or had to peek in and look around between the stock and action then use a very fine cutting tool like a half dozen Micro-Mark blades on one of their handles to cut through the Devcon to cut away a mechanical lock. The steel inthe Devcon dulls the blades very quickly.It also seems to work for repairs on a "Green Egg" barbeque to repair even a smashed lid. It appears it stands up to heat. I had a friend use it, but think there are better Devcon products out there for that.

The Devon epoxy works great for bedding of my rifles. Using the Kiwi neutral shoe polish for a release agent the actions come free easily and leave a great finished surface on the epoxy.

i ve used devcon 10-110 for bedding rifle actions several times and have always had a superior job due to a superior product. It doesn’t shrink and is super strong with no cracking even on magnum actions. Doesn’t run into unwanted places like other products. Highly recommend!!

The epoxy/filler worked well on filling pencil eraser sized holes in the metal side walls of a piece of farm equipment. It was easy to shape after curing and took the paint finish well and looks good.It is a little pricey though.

hardens super hard. I applied this to an aluminum frame on a camper RV instead of using body putty (bondo). it was great. easy to spread, kept its fluidity until I needed it to setup. I left it out in the sun for the day, and by the next day it was ready to be sanded and painted. no cracks. no shrinkage. it is a dark grey color, which is not obvious from the description. I spray painted it after sanding, and it took that well with no discoloring the paint. I was really impressed. If the manufacturer is reading this, I would recommend you improve your instructions a bit more to include more practical applications, especially since you're selling on Amazon to the general public.

I bought this for bedding a rifle stock, relatively easy to work with, turned out great! Plenty left over to do a bunch more.

This stuff is amazing. Used it to glass and pillar bed several rifles over several years. I still have some product left too.
