Either is good, get the cheapest. Political correctness offends me. | |||

I've used Devcon once and Acra-glass (and gel) several times. I like the way the Acra products take dye better than the Devcon. However, I think Devcon is easier to work with and to me is much harder. "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians."

thats exactly what i have read, that the Devcon is much harder than the REGULAR acraglas, but i wonder how the STEEL acraglas stacks up to it. coloring is not an issue in this case though. | |||

Bedding materials mentioned all have worked for me in the past, but my preference is Marine Tex. Mixing ratio more complicated than some others, but if done correctly will give excellent results. Used it on service rifles, M1Garand, M14's, and those rifles give the bedding a workout, but does good job. Just a thought. | |||

I'll second this... my experience is the same. I use a little scale to be certain I'm dead on the mixing ratio. It's easier than guessing and worrying. "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." | |||

Which Devcon are you using? I've used the Stainless Steel Putty and got good results, but that stuff is expensive. Is it the Plastic Steel that is more commonly used? | |||

Acra-glas is supposed to have the longest shelf life . I have two rifles bedded with Acra-glas , still in excellent shape after 40+ years !!  | |||

I use acraglass gel for 20 or 30 guns works well for me. | |||

I too have rifles I glassed that long ago and the Acra-glas bedding is just fine. | |||
