Hi Chaps a few questions if I may on devcon . Is the smallest amount 500g that you can buy .how Meany rifles will 500g bed . If more than one can it be stored and used later
You should get about 3 bedding jobs out of a small tub, I can't remember how much the weight was, the tubs are about 25 quid, make sure you use a good release agent otherwise you won't get it apart good luck. Yes it can be stored no problem.
I've only ever come across 500gm tubs.
As above - depending on extent of the job etc, will do 2-3 rifles. Dont tend to get to store it for long, but def does 3 months with lid back on tight.
Hi eveveryone
Has anybody any suggestions for thining Devcon to make it flow a little better?

This may seem like a really silly question but I'm sure someone more experienced can answer it (maybe Jager SA?). Can other compounds be used to bed rifles?I know Devcon and Acraglas are the top two but what about other epoxy based fillers or even car body filler? Do Devcon and Acraglas have certain characteristics that make them ideal for the job, tough, resistant to compression, not brittle etc that aren't found in other products?
Stuck for a quick bedding job, skint as well, look no further than Plastic Padding, the hard type.
Did my CZ527 a few years ago now, even stuck the pillars in with it, worked great and is still going strong.
