I did my first bed job on my 12 F/V and a boyds stock. Also pillered using some threaded electrical stock (used on lamps).

Used Play-doh to seal off the areas I didn't want the epoxy to go.

I used JB weld for the bedding and lot's of turtle wax on the receiver.

I must say it was a butt pucker moment when I went to remove the action out of the stock but a couple of taps with a rubber mallet and it popped right out.

Went so well I did my second one on re-barreled Savage 110 and Boyds stock.
