[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2715003, member: 37460"] Looks like you may have used too much hardener in your mixture. Too much hardener makes it brittle. Also, you really need to spend a LOT of time in the prep, not only the action but also the stock. The stock finish on the tang area should almost be removed but should definitely be roughed up. I lightly remove all that finish with my Dremmel. All the areas epoxy is being applied to on the stock need to be thoroughly cleaned and definitely roughed up, otherwise the epoxy will not adhere.
