[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 941502, member: 1290"] I doubt DuPont or Dow or any other chemical engineers believe rifle bedding compound would sell well enough to ever justify spending stock holders funds on such a small niche market. Other than Accraglass or someone's relabeled bedding kits nothing is really designed from a blank sheet as rifle bedding material. Devcon's were designed to fill defects in metal. I think marketing it as rifle bedding was an after thought. Same for Marine Tex. Properties wise I like the specs on the Devcon Titanium but it sucks to work with. Next one is Marine Tex. It does about everything right for rifle bedding and is my preference. I dislike the other Devcon products in comparison. They will certainly work but they are somewhat softer in compressive strength. JB Weld is not even on my radar as something to be used for bedding. Same for the 5 minute epoxies. I rate them right in there with the hot glue gun which BTW Winchester uses on factory rifles. I once saw a rifle full length bedded in Blue RTV and it was a pretty good shooter. Spec wise, I think an epoxy based machine base grout would be ideal for rifle bedding. Someday if I ever had time to experiment I want to see how it works. [/QUOTE]
