bedding tupperware

[durango]

Has anyone found a compound that will stick to a tupperware stock for bedding? I just tried a plastic epoxy from Ace Hardware that was a total bust p/n 17394.

Devcon seems to be the one of choice. BUT, you have to rough up the surfaces in contact with the compound or it will not stick very well.

I've done a couple with Devcon but it's not worth the effort. If you put enough Devcon in it to stiffen it up you can use it for a boat anchor. There are much better solutions that are relatively inexpensive. I did my last one in a Boyd's stock, $95 bucks and a bedding job and really shoots.

Boyd's is backordered 3-4 weeks and I want to shoot it now. Even polyester resin doesn't seem to stick, and I can't find devcon locally. Still hoping for other suggestions. Steve

What about a carbon rod (arrow shaft) or how about a section of this material bedded in with Devcon:

Just some food for thought

I've bedded a number of tupperware stocks with Devcon Steel Putty w/o issues. I drill a number of holes in the bedding area for the Devcon to lock into. I've never completely solved the problem with the forearm being wimpy though.

Sorry, couldn't resist the link. Reminded me of many young kids I have known - myself included. ;D

There are a number of threads on the forum that mention using acetone to "dry up" the plastic stock so that epoxy and putty stick better.

You can take a soldering gun and stipple the area you wish to bed.

I've had great results with regular JB weld and it's less than 7$. One kit of JB is enough to do 2 rifles, just roughen up plastic and drill some little holes for the JB to grab on to and I used the KIWI neutral shoe polish as release agent.




It's not perfect but it is way better than what I had.

yep, drill you some holes with a really small bit about 1/8" deep and at angles. Maybe 15 or 20 holes on the front of the mag well, and another 15 or 20 on the back where the bedding compound will be. It will allow most any compound to create a mechanical lock for you and hold that stuff in there. Here is a pic of when I was bedding some arrows in my forend, and you can see the little holes all around the front pillar hole. I used a dremel tool with a little drill bit.
