[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1192568, member: 2736"] You are welcome. Most compounds made for bedding have little or no shrinkage when used properly. I find that compounds that get very hot, Do have a shrinkage problem. the ones to look out for are the ones with fast cure times. most good bedding compounds have a 2 to 4 hour working time and a 4+ hour cure time. these just barely get warm and shrinkage is held to a minimum. I "personally" don't recommend anything that is not designed for bedding for this reason. this is also not the place to save money and buy something for patching mufflers or boats where heat and shrinkage is not an issue. Note: Most of us had to start at the beginning and we also learned the hard way. Bedding sounds like a simple task and it is if you have done many, but it can be tricky and troublesome if not done right. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
