[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1753289, member: 2736"] My preference in order Is, Steel bed, Pro bed 2000, And Devcon. The steel bed has a 4 hour pot life and cures slow enough to minimize heating up (Non shrinking) it also does not run and drip making a mess. It also mixes 1 to 1. The Pro bed 2000 is a little faster 2 to 3 hour pot life and bonds very well to wood and metal. It also mixes 1 to 1. I have had good results with Devcon but it has to be weighed to get the proper ratio (I think it is 9 to 1). I personally don,t use or recommend anything that is not made specifically for bedding. because most heat up and shrink after curing causing a poor fit. short pot life also makes it hard to work and you cant take your time to insert the action and be fully bedded. I can remember the mixing container heating up in my hands when i use to use Accraglass and some of the other old bedding compounds. There are many things that can be used that have good strength but they just don.t work as well for bedding and some are very difficult to work, And the finished product is not as good as it could be. Don't let the price dictate the brand. The difference in quality and ease of use, will be worth the price difference. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
