[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 379878, member: 2736"] I have switched to the Steel Bed from brownells because it will flow but does not run and has a very controled cure time. I do all the taping and applying in my shop where the temp is 70o and have several hours to mess with the fit and alignment if needed ( it takes about 2 to3 hours to kick off at this temp. Once everything is ok I set the rifle and fixture out in the sun (Normally around 90o + here and it will cure in less than an hour and can be trimmed(The excess) without removing the action. The next day I will remove the action and do a final cleanup and reinstall the barreled action to set for 2 or 3 days before firing. (4 to 6 days if it is a boomer. This stuff is very tough and last a long time. also it is easy to work and if you have to remove the action (Heaven forbid) before it starts to cure the controled cure time may save you from a big mess. There are other bedding materials that work well but I just prefer the steel bed. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
