I got a sample of some new bedding compound from an outfit called Fire and Iron and tried it on my first job. Here's how iit worked...
First off this is runny stuff when mixed and so you WILL need flock. I had just about 1/2 of what I would have liked to use so I hhad the rifle in the vise for 24 hours before I moved it. The compound iitself is moore rubbery than acra glass and even when cured it's more like say hot glue than the hard bedding I am use to using. Supposedly this is to better dampen the vibrations and is suppose to contribute to accuracy. Unless you bedded the same rifle in the same stock twice, once with this stuff and once with acraglass I don't know how you would tell. In actual use it seems to work all right but is not as convieniient as acra glass gel. I will post more as I get a chance to really bench the rifle and see how it holds up with time.
