ACRAGLAS GEL SHOP BEDDING KIT Reviews & Ratings

ACRAGLAS GEL SHOP BEDDING KIT

Over the years Brownells has had hundreds of customer requests for an epoxy accurizing compound with a butter-smooth consistency which would neither run, drip or leach out from between wood and metal after being placed in the gun stock. After many years of research and testing, we perfected a modified version of our popular Acraglas® that gives the same super accurizing bedding job and also meets those specialized smooth application features you have asked for. Acraglas Gel was designed to take advantage of the latest technological advancements in epoxy research. It has the best possible advantages built into it for those that want a butter-smooth type of Acraglas.

Nylon Derivatives are formulated into Acraglas Gel and provide greater "thin strength," shock resistance and stability over normal temperature extremes.

  • Slightly less shrinkage than that of Acraglas, which has an amazing 1/10th of 1%.
  • 1-to-1 mixing ratio gives a stable structure to Acraglas Gel that will not crack, craze or sugar-out as will other 1-to-1 epoxies. Plus this 1-to-1 mix ratio simplifies mixing and measuring small amounts accurately.
  • Slightly longer pot life to give the user more time when doing the actual bedding.
  • Longer cure time - Epoxy remains slightly flexible, longer, making it easy to trim away excess compound.
  • Readily blends with atomized aluminum, steel and stainless steel particles, to make a stronger, reinforced epoxy.
  • Can be dyed the same as Acraglas to match the characteristics of the gun stock being worked on.

The above features of Acraglas Gel give you an idea of how completely we fulfilled your requests for a companion product for Acraglas ... The Acraglas Gel stay-in-one-spot feature ... sophisticated molecular structure ... slightly longer pot life and curing time ... the ability to mix in aluminum or steel, make this a product we are proud to offer to you. Because of the characteristics of Acraglas Gel, the advantages of glass floc are already incorporated in the finished epoxy so the addition of floc is not recommended or needed.

Includes - 8 fl. oz. (237 ml) Resin, 8 fl. oz. (237 ml) Hardener, 3 fl. oz. (89 ml) Release Agent, Measuring Spoon Set, 2 re-useable Poly Mixing Dishes, 25 Wide Mixing Sticks, 3 Paks Brown Dye, 3 Packets Black Dye, Instructions.

Best regards John Bladen Stone-Free International. Canberra. Australia.

Worked as advertised
I used this product to bed a Savage A17 with a Boyd wood laminate stock. It worked great. The kit comes with everything you need, except a good degreaser, masking tape, and a Dremel tool. I tried to do a Ruger 10-22 with a hogue overmold stock. When breaking the action from the stock, the area I bedded around the lug broke apart. The tang area was fine. I redid the lug area after removing more stock material from the area. Hopefully a little thicker glass will do the trick. This may have been my fault for going too thin on the glass.

Good Stuff
I used this for bedding a Remington 700 stock into a laminate stock from Richards Microfit, and waas pleased with the result. Installation was easy and the results have been satisfactory.

Just a heads up for fellow Canadians.
Tried to order this the other day and it wouldn't ship to me here in Ontario as it is flammable. Brownells does offer a non-flammable version(presumably for that exact reason) for the same price so make sure you go for that one. Thanks Brownells, so far nothing but good products and good service.

This stuff works great. Can be a little messy.

Acraglas Gel in the Bathroom
I just used your great Acraglas Gel to set a toilet in my bathroom. The tile floor is a little uneven and, if it's set directly on the floor, the throne will rock slightly, not conducive to a lasting seal with the wax ring. I mixed the gel, then shimmed the low spot on the floor, spread the gel and covered it with wax paper (I didn't want the base permanently attached). The base left a perfect impression and after the Acraglas cured, it was easy to install the wax ring and tighten the bolts so the toilet is secure. Worked great!

Garbage Wont get hard! Brand new kit
I used it for betting the barrel in my 375 H&H and it wont harden up! Turns out the stuff sugars up and wont mix properly. Many times it comes this way from the factory Im told. Ill never buy this garbage again! Since I bought it at a store Brownells wont even replace it! So on top of having to buy a new product I dont get a refund for the old product, and I have to do all the work again! I dont recommend this for anybody, for anything!
