[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1854149, member: 91783"] I've used a lot of different types of Dev-Con products at work over the last 45 years . They all have a shelf life . I've used it in below 0 temps by heating it in a microwave putting in an excelerator and insulating it . I've used it in plus 130 heat also . When it's cold and stiff heat it in a micro wave for a few seconds it will thin and be mixable . use the ratio that it says to on the label . if you want a 1 to 1 mix use JB weld . I have never had any Dev-Con not set up for me I have had it set too fast it will set up in the can if it is way past it's shelf life you can heat it and get by when that happens a time or two then mix it as recommended . If you want to just do 1 or 2 bedding jobs Dev-Con is pretty expensive and it's probably more cost effective to go with smaller tubes of JB weld or get a bedding kit . I don't bed actions for a living I do them for myself as part of what I do for relaxation . I also don't shoot as a competitor those guys know more about bedding then me but I have used a lot of Dev-Con in a lot of differing environments . [/QUOTE]
