[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1058230, member: 2736"] I do have problems with the thinner compounds forming air pockets, But with compounds like Steel Bed the tongue depressor works great because you fold the two parts together in a plastic container or on a sheet of plastic or poster board and when it is mixed Per the instructions it is ready to apply. One reason for the air pockets is over mixing and curing time. The slower the cure time the less heat is generated and the less problem you have with air pockets forming. I look for a bedding compound that has a pot life (Working time) of at least 2 hours. these compounds are easer to work with and don't generate as much heat that can cause shrinkage when cured (IT fits the action tighter). Feel free to post or PM me if you have more questions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
