I think it's called Devcon 10110 in NZ.
And the lightweight bedding compound from Devcon that I use these days is D10610, it's full of aluminium powder and perfect when every ounce counts.
Where does one purchase bedding compound?
I've only seen the Brownells acraglas stuff which seems to have a bad rep in this thread, Reloaders has it for $60 and Guncity $90!
Is the Match grade stuff from Nathan good?
Seems a bit off putting it's so cheap.
I found Nathan's stuff didnt mix or set in small quantities and didnt flow well, I'd never buy it again.
I have some Enfields that have been acraglassed on spots like the wrist which takes shock with no issues and the bedding seems fine.
I want some especially strong stuff for an experiment, hence I asked.
Hi, Im currently setting up 2 other No4 stocks, using wood and std grade bedding plus another waiting to do. When they are all out of the way, hopefully this weekend I want to get back to this 4th stock and need some "special" stuff S. steel bed grade sounds ideal, so no not yet, I have tried to buy some but I have had no replies to emails, I'll pursue it once I have these 3 done and dusted.
Just get some Devcon 10110
It's a lot cheaper in the US btw. 1/3 the price of here

i used it on my magnum and it worked very well, if other people are using small batches and its not setting then they didnt use enough hardner hardly cause to slag off a product if you dont use it correctly. Nattan gives you most of the gear in the kit with full instructions you can even contact him direct for support. Nattan would of done hundreds if not more bedding jobs and i have never heard someone complain about is craftmenship. people have opinions of the man but when his product is used correctly it does a bloody good job.
Are you doing a forum bulk buy @Spanners
Nope. I brought this back specifically for another forum member.
I could try some local trade contacts but I think it would still end up around $100 a pot locally
I just popped my first bedding job from Nathan's gig. Great product, hard to mess up.
MarineTex is a very good product and you can use as little or as much as you like.
You'll probably have to import it from the US.
