What bedding epoxy is the favoured. I am not sure if I am lookin for an Epoxy that has no memory or an epoxy that will allow movement. I am in the UK and can't find anyone who will export from the US due to the compounds used.
Seems odd, but even Sinclair Int' who I regularly use have stated they can not export a kit.

Are you talking bonding the ebony to the stock, or bedding the barrel?

If to the stock, I like acragel, dyed black.

on the stock, I generally don't bed on the ebony, as it is VERY brittle, and getting slapped by the barrel can crack it. I usually have that a no touch zone.

if you must, acragell dyed black does a pretty job.

Acraglas gel easily.

I just got done bedding the first of two MRC1999 SA's into a synthetic Winchester take-off stock.

I used Marine-Tex for the first time and was very pleased with the results.

Marine-Tex is used by almost all gunsmiths I know. You can order from Brownells

Diddo on the Marine-Tex. Comes in white or grey. I use the grey and add dye as needed.

And pretty much any marine supply, boating supply, (West Marine, etc.) and many hardware stores.
