[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1866885, member: 104268"] I also did the tape wrap for the two I've tried. I have a fair amount of experience with epoxy (not bedding), and even the thick stuff will flow, even if real slow. Drop a dollop of the stuff on something, and it will slowly flatten out like silly putty over hours. Perhaps you should try an experiment to see how much it flows in both scenarios. From what I've seen, you have the tools, materials, and inclination for that sort of thing.😉 Easy enough to take a piece of bar (or old hunk of barrel), and bed it to a piece of angle iron. Perhaps an 8" piece. Hang one, and lay one horizontal, and see if there's a measurable difference in bedding thickness front to back on the two. I suppose some rearward pressure during curing actually makes sense to me though, as that's the "recoil state" of the system your trying to make uniform with bedding. [/QUOTE]
