[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 512707, member: 2736"] Even though the bedding compounds are very hard they can compress over time. (The reason that after while the bedding will loosen and needs to be re-done. Metal pillars will not compress and help prevent the bedding from loosening sooner. I use to bed without pillars and over time had to go back and do a skim bed to bring accuracy back to the original Quality. I have seen many different materials used for pillars(Fiberglass rods, hardwood dowels,hi density plastics ETC) and personally find the metal ones work the best and last the longest. In fact I will not bed without installing aluminum or stainless pillars first. The bedding compound will work but it will not last as long under hard service. With good pillars bedding is not subject to as much compression force and will last much longer. Just my experience J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
