[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1949666, member: 101859"] The type of epoxy is way down the list compared to the method used to bed in the first place. Many of the commonly used epoxies are up to the job, and they all shrink. There are some methods used to try to maintain even contact throughout the bedding job after shrinkage but the main goal is to not have any stress. A good looking job comes down to buffing off your release agent very well and how you mix and apply the epoxy to avoid air bubbles. But how it shoots will come down to the fit. So pick any one you want but test your process with dial indicators at the forend when breaking screws loose. .001" movement or less is your goal. [/QUOTE]
