I just finished filling a barrel channel on a HS Precision stock and would like to be able to add a custom paint job to the stock as a finishing touch. Will DuraCoat stick to the cured Acraglass?

Yes, if the surface is not "slick". It might even with the slick surface, but I never tried it that way.

It's a little late now, but for future reference, you can use acrylic paint mixed into the glass to obtain the desired results of color match. These paints are easily found at arts and crafts stores that many wives like to frequent. Wink

I'd be awfully hesitant about painting over the bedding if it's actually touching the barrel, due to the fact that the paint will cause uneven build-up, which defeats the purpose of bedding to a point. If it isn't touching....no sweat.

Thanks for the replys guys.

The barrel is still floated, so contact isn't an issue.
