Question about bedding with Devcon 10110

curmudgeon
In the past, I have always bedded actions with Marine Tex. If it is to be a glue-in, I use J-B Weld for the adhesive -- prebed with MT & a couple layers of tape around the action for a little clearance, then glue in with J-B.

If I switch to Devcon 10110, what to use for the glue-in adhesive? More 10110? Stay with J-B?

TIA

I know J-B Weld will unglue with enough heat. Not heat from the new ChiCom clothes irons sold at Wally World today but the ones that really got hot 20-30 years ago.

Some of the Devcon products just get stronger with heat as a catalyst. This is Devcon A. It is a very old product. I used some of it to fix a gouge in a cylinder wall of an outboard motor in 1961. As far as I know that stuff is still there.....it lasted for the subsequent 10 years I owned that motor.

Try a product that is made just for bedding a firearm, Brownell's acraglas-gel. They list what you want to know about a bedding product. I don't go along with I used model airplane glue, and never looked back.
 
Thank you Mr. Johnson. I have used Acraglass, and Acraglass-Gel, going back to the 1960s. What I would like to know at this time is what people who bed with Devcon use to glue in an action.
 
After bedding, lightly sand the Devcon with 400 grit, then clean it completely along with the action.
Been gluing with J-B that way for years without a failure.
