Favorite bedding compounds

I'm wondering what anyone's favorite bedding compound is? I'm currently using Brownells Acraglass gel. I did notice on my 22 creedmoor sitting in an MDT chassis it cracked under the chamber where it's about 1/2" thick. Could be due to curing or my fault!

Absolutely Devcon 10110. A little spendy but worth it. Only thing I would note is bed a few other rifles or get some buddies over and let them bed their rifles too. I only used maybe 25% of the container for one rifle and the rest hardened and was thrown away.

Marine Tex grey and Devcon Steel Bed work equally well for me, I feel that the Marine Tex is easier to mix. Brownells Acraglass and appropriate dye is now only used for wood stock crack repairs.

I've like marine Tex. I don't need to wait for delivery, get it at any hardware store and it works

MarineTex gray
Dow Corning DP190 gray -spendy but amazing
I've also used glass micro balloons to reduce the density of both of the above

It's Marine Tex Gray for me. I've used it on at least a dozen rifles over the years and have had zero problems. It's easy to work with and cures so strong that I once fixed an aluminum propeller on a 7.5 hp Mercury outboard with it. The Marine Tex held until I ran the boat up on a gravely sand bar two years later! It's pretty good stuff!

I have used acraglass. My Highmaster buddy and another Highmaster gunsmith that bedded my M1 and M1A used bisonite

One of the only rifles I parted with that I dearly miss was my M1A nat match!

Just did a rifle with Pro-Bed 2000. It came out perfect. Not critical on mix ratios either.

I really like Devcon 10110

Acraglass Gel with atomized steel powder added was my favorite because it will not sag and run out of bottomless voids before curing. Recently I've tried Devcon 10110 and was very happy with the results. Very little, if any sag and seems to be harder when cured.
