[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 3086607, member: 109917"] Yes, carbon is the wrap, the filler/core is an epoxy based high yield carbon fiber strand foam of sorts. I actually want to go to one of the manufacturers and see the process start to finish for myself. Get some type of blackening agent, something like Miles Gilbert Inletting Black, charcoal with a little Vaseline or a black grease/wax/colored pencil to mark the action where you think it is hitting hard, or you can rock the action back and forth to imprint on the stock, but that wears on the metal finish. I use colored pencils from the Art store or Amazon. Work slowly and avoid making the action sit too deep in the stock. Just know that you will have to "degrease" the areas you have interference on where the color transfers from the action to the stock. Carbide burrs will grab in corners, protect all the areas of the stock where you might hit it with the burrs. The reason I like diamond bits, they remove material slowly, they do not chatter and they easier to control. A cheap set from Amazon will last most people a lifetime, we go thru them like a drunk does drive thru tacos. [ATTACH type="full"]564495[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
