It sure is nice to work with. Mixes very nicely and is easy to spread and put in place.

I have used most of the other bedding compounds over the years except Pro 2000. Availability and price are an issue for me in Canada. I will stick with JB Weld 8281 for now. Reports say it is reliable and good quality for rifle bedding.

Does any one have experience with it?

jeffeosso,

As I said, I have used most bedding epoxies over the years except for Pro Bed 2000 which I hear is excellent. I liked them all. I have used Marine epoxy a lot too.

Also, I have a pretty good idea of how to source product.

I used JB Weld as an experiment.
My question was "Does any one else have experience with JB Weld Professional 8281?" Not "How do you source Marine Tex bedding epoxy?"

I am sorry if I was too politic in my answer. Yes, I have used it, didnt care the results in big bores, and since you are known for having big bores, I wouldn't recommend. Asking if you had access to a superior product, and having no way of knowing, I merely suggested a superior, cheap, readily available product. Not knowing that your mind was made up.

Carry on
