I use glass bedding extensively in pattern making. I
recommend using a good glass bedding on a new stock job.
In the past, bedding has gotten a bad rap when used to fill in
a sloppy inletting job, with good reason - it looks pretty cheesy.
When correctly applied, there is no better way to seal
the interior of a stock and give 100% wood to metal contact.
It can also be used under the buttplate.
There are a number of other uses for bedding, it is one of those
tools that a smith would not be without.
I offer ProBed to my customers because it works well for
me. It is fairly forgiving if the mix ratio is not exactly 50-50. When it sets up, it seems to be less brittle or "plastic",
and I have experienced less chipping when cleaning off the excess with a file.
The kit includes a good set of instructions and product information
(worth reading, even if you have bedding experience)
Filler Clay- ignore this and discover how strong bedding
really is.
Fumed Silica-can't say I've used
this, but some of you may find it useful, more on that in the instructions.
Release Agent and brush -I brush this on, then give a shot of Brownell's
spray release agent over the whole job. Cheap insurance, but not a substitute for using the filler clay.
Stir sticks- Use a clean stick for each half of the bedding compound-
trust me on that...
Everything
you need is here, enough to bed at least 4 stock sets. Goes even farther with experience.
