[QUOTE="Guest, post: 127717"] Hi, The resin was a little stiff, but, still seemed to be plastic without lumps. (room temp @ about 65*) This was the opened package. I mixed some up about 7 hours ago. It seemed to be mixing fine. So I put some sanding dust from the stock in, to make the color right, and put it in an inconspicious place where I had "broken some wood" out of the stock. It appears to be hardening fine, at this point. OK, OK, I broke out the part of the stock between the rear pillar hole I was trying to drill and the the trigger relief. It's about 1/4 X 1/4 X 1", and will be covered by the trigger guard. Read this as "DO NOT get in a hurry. HUGE learning curve on this. It's my FIRST attempt at pillar bedding, and full length bedding, on my own. Now I know what a dial mike is for. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff you need an accurate measurement on to do pillars. It ain't just drilling a hole and gluing a pillar in. Did you know that masking tape is .005 thick? I do now! Newbie's take note: we are not all perfect, (except Len & Kirby.)(and Dave maybe, but you'll have to ask him.) Thanks, again. C'ya, John. [/QUOTE]
