[QUOTE="huntforfood, post: 2625943, member: 114703"] For taping barrel, watch how far out the action sets from the top of stock and that it is not tipping back onto the tang . Also tang screw has full thread engagement once set in epoxy, but no torque , i back off screw torque once action set. Usually electrical tape is .007 to .010" so about 7 wraps gets you .050" to .070" gap, most dont like more tham .100" as action tilts or too high. gotta test it out amd look at action and tang fit with no tipping. I bought the big marine tex from an online boat store for $60 and did 5 stocks with left over. make sure its fresh. I also used the cheaper gray jb epoxy in suringe tubes that cures 4 to 6 hours for setting pillars, stiffing forend, filling gaps prior to main marine tex. these were for multiple part jobs and would flow down into pockets. I used johnson wax, 2 coats and then buffed out for direct action to epoxy areas for smooth finish. i used hornady one shot and masking tape and putty dams for every i dont expect epoxy, barrel extension, tang/trigger holes, inside barrel and holes then plug with plumbers putty. wax screws and holes. think belts and suspenders for safety [/QUOTE]
