Thread: Glass bedding pros and cons

...to clarify the above, making sure the masking tape is only the back part of the lug that goes in the slot of the action i.e. not on the back of the lug that is epoxied in the stock. A little superglue on the masking tape will hold the lug in the action slot to stop it moving before the bedding compound sets up.
