Brownells ACRAGLAS 2-Gun Glass Bedding Epoxy Compound Kit for Rifle Stock, Black and Brown Dyes, Gunsmithing Tools, 081003002

Satisfied customer.

I have had very good luck with this product repairing wood stocks. Including some severe brakes. I have never had a wood stock repaired with Acraglas fail. It is meant for bedding actions in firearms but for those tasks there are a couple of products , like Pro Bed 2000, that I prefer over Acraglas.

Today there are several different bedding compounds, BUT NOTHING BEATS ACCRAGLAS. WORKS GREAT EVERY TIME!

WORKS

It worked well enough, i guess. I followed the instructions, but then had to wait quite a long time, maybe 20 minutes before I saw any hardening enough to work with it, because it was still really soupy. I even added more hardener, about twice the amount recommended, and waited another 10 minutes or so and it was still soupy!! I just went ahead and did it with it being soupy and it worked out well enough after a 24 hour cure. Maybe I got a lousy sample of hardener, I don't know, but just be prepared to use a lot more hardener than recommended if you want to work with it at all.

I like it because I do.

Like all epoxy is moves around so make it thicker with the stuff in the little bag. Add slightly more pigment than it appears initially. It lightens as it cures. The kit comes in a highly crushable package. My little dixie cup measuring cups got squashed. I straightened them out and used them, but c'mon. I was using it to bed a receiver to a shotgun buttstock on a break action combi gun. I had to put the buttstock in a wood vice and carefully put the receiver into it. It worked, but I am sure it would work better to bed a rifle action in a rifle stock as that would be done horizontally.

used this at the recommendation of an old gunsmith that fixes stocks and stuff, he said this is what he uses and won't use anything else. I fixed a family heirloom shotgun butt stock with it and you can't hardly even tell that it was ever broke, then I used the rest on a forestock on another old antique shotgun that was split almost in half, got the glue in the crack really good, then used it "liberally" on the inside of the stock where it won't be seen. Hunted with both shotguns this winter in foul cold weather, neither one has failed on me yet.
