[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3031502, member: 115658"] The JB Weld that I use is a permanent fix & only can be removed with abrasives or cutting tools. [ATTACH]542873[/ATTACH] There is no way I would want this stuff inside tapped holes, a tap would be needed to remove it. It can be worked like metal, drilled & tapped. Upon bedding a base to a rifle apply release agent to the receiver/action surface and a liberal amount onto screws & holes. The purpose of bedding is to make a conforming surface/contact between base & receiver so screw tension will not deform the base. Screw tension applied during the bedding process should be limited to an amount that will make a conforming surface/contact between base & receiver, like don't squeeze out bedding material & bend the base with excessive screw tension. I use carburetor cleaner on screws & inside screw holes to clean up oils, grease, & crud before applying blue type thread locker. The JB Weld shown has a tensile strength of 5500 psi and probably 7-8 times that compressive strength. It can handle 550 F temperatures - I have used it to make minor non-structural fixes on cast iron pots used to make nice eaties oven cooked at over 400 F. Ordinary common wax shoe polish like Kiwi works good as a release agent. The blue thread locker might come off by softening with hair drier heat then carb cleaner - don't use explosive fume carb cleaner with hair drier at same time - but JB Weld would be immune to a similar procedure. JB Weld cold weld is great stuff for stock bedding. Avoid getting it onto any non release agent covered surface that is not intended to have a permanent coating of JB Weld. Best to get a small package and go thru a learning process with scrap pieces before permanently attaching a base to a receiver or permanently plugging up screw holes. [/QUOTE]
