[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2349278, member: 93138"] That is my point, from where I stand the AL Putty is the best set of compromises. I will continue to argue for it while also recognizing that others have different criteria to judge by and will arrive at different conclusions. I know of rifles that were bedded using polyester resin with talc mixed in (otherwise known as "Bondo"), so clearly there's a wide range in criteria. Moisture/humidity doesn't occur in a thermal vacuum. There is always a temperature component involved. The whole point of bedding a wood stock is to eliminate the moisture/humidity factor in how the metal fits the stock. Have a look at the Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Water, I'll save some trouble, it is a non-linear function. Meaning it is an ugly thing that varies it's effect depending on the temperature itself. I don't care what the Federal Anti Aircraft commission's stance on Devcon is. It doesn't apply, and one need only look at the moribund stagnation of certified GA aircraft vs. the literal explosion in home-built/"experimental" aircraft to see just how screwed up they are. I too have used in racing and recreational engines with excellent results for roughly 30 years. [/QUOTE]
