[QUOTE="GRG, post: 2909191, member: 100299"] What is the cost of the material you are using? Name? The Savage gained about 1 lb but that also includes 2 carbon shafts and 2 part epoxy going the length of the barrel channel to reinforce it. Quite a bit of material. Rifle with barreled action and scope rail weighs 7lbs 14oz. Not a light weight but still very manageable. Also I do something like this so that the stock has characteristics that allow me to shoot it off the bench better so not totally weight conscious. The containers don't have much info on them but I would think the website would. One thing I can tell you is that the material sets in about 1hr. If you are working on multiple things it makes it so that you can go back to the stock over the course of a day and have worked on it in stages and be done. When you start to apply the material to the stock it is like other products that you don't just set it on and press. I use a light layer first that I get to cover most of the area being worked and more or less press and smear it on. You can feel it warming with its chemical reaction and that is when it will bond to the stock much better. That smearing action is the secret to a nice contact with the plastic. Before its cured I go ahead and have the rest of my mixed material added on top. Don't worry about if you have ground out areas beyond the actual finished are as the JB when you smear it on will fill those grooves. After all you will paint it anyway. [/QUOTE]
