ACRAGLAS SHOP BEDDING KIT Reviews & Ratings

I used the 2-gun acraglass kit first, and decided this was the best material to use on a rifle bedding job. The prep work on the gun and stock is the real challenge, don't cut corners on that. I learned that with my first few tries. That is why I didn't check Easy to Use, not because is not easy... in reality acraglas it very easy to use... but the preparation work on the gun and stock is where the real user success will be. Then decided the shop kit had to come to my place. Raising two teens took me away from the hobbie... but now I am having more time, and walla!, decided to bed a couple of rifles, the shop kit has been in my shelf for some years, and the third bottom of the Resin got solidified... I called customer service on a Saturday !, the suggestion was to warm the resin in water to reactivate it... so did warmed up water on the stove, in low heat, used the metal thing to separate vegetables from the bottom of the saucepan to be safe, placed the resin bottle in... kept checking it's progress... and magic happened !... just like new again !! Thank you for offering this product !!

I used this to epoxy a piece of Picatinny rail to an AR-15 upper receiver. It was a little thin, maybe I should have used the gel, but by careful use of tape and release agent, I had no problems. As for the dye, I used 2 drops of black in about 1/2 oz, and it was a perfect match for the AR finish. I thought the instructions were detailed and clear.

Ive been using Acraglass for decades to bed or repair stocks. I purchased this box to fill in holes that I made in a Polymer80 AR receiver. The holes got messed up and they ended up being oval. I filled in these holes with Acraglass dyed black and using fiberglass flock. I was able to re-drill the holes and Im using the lower receiver instead of having to throw the receiver away. Ive actually used it to repair cracks or broken plastic body parts on motorcycles Ive owned. The uses of this product is unlimited. Its very strong, can be drilled, or sanded, carved. It works on polymer, metal, wood. Great product.

I used this to bed my first custom made rifle in 1980 and have used nothing else ever since . Wood , antler , horn or plastic this is the stuff . As always , hats off to Brownell's for supplying us with a great product . Regards , J .

I had the option of this product (not sure about flammable or non flammable) and the gel. I chose this over the gel for no specific reasons and was impressed with the results. I worked it in the tight spots slowly and filled in the larger spots evenly and much to my surprise when the action was removed there was a smooth as glass bedding job. I had no bubbles or air pockets. I did have some flowing into areas i didnt expect although i can NOT fault this product but blame more fault on using Play-Doh that was sort of hard and caved away. A little extra clean up on my part while it was just starting to stiffen up made easy work of my goof up. About 12 to 14 hours of setup and I popped the action out of the stock easier than expected. (Honestly almost dropped the barreled action when it popped free) A little trimming with a sharp blade and it looked like it was done by someone with years of experience. I have read a lot of reviews on other products as well as this product and this is the only brand that was available at the shop, so I figured of they use it there's probably a good reason. I'm glad I used it and will use it again in the future.

I bought an Acraglas shop kit 10/27/1980. I used it off and on over the years and then got away from making custom stocks. This past week I received a desk that arrived damaged. Several areas needed filler. I remembered the Acraglas kit out in my shop and decided to see if it would still work. After 37 years, it worked perfectly. The hardener had darkened some, but since the repairs were not visible it didn't matter. I am sold on Acraglas.

Safe and easy to use kit. Good for just about any stock or bedding or gap filling job you can think of. Has brown and black color packs so you can match to your job.

I've used ACRAGLAS mainly for rifle Smithing since 1975. I've also used darn near every other product made. You simply can't beat ACRAGLAS for exceptional strengh. First rifle I used it on was an Devine Tx Springfield M1A, with a NM barrel I put on it in 76. The rifle was bedded with ACRAGLAS and until recently, the only bedding compound I use for civilian use. Devcon was a milspec standard on the M14's I've worked on, so I couldn't use ACRAGLAS. That M1A was mine and the first I did with the bedding holding true for longer then anyone that I knew thought that it could. GREAT STUFF! *IF* you plan to bed or accurize any real number of rifles, get the Shop Kit, it's easier then ordering and ordering AGRAGLAS boxes.

I have used this product for over 40 years. Although I initially used it for gun stock work, I now use it for general antique restoration and repair. I have not found an equal. One especially good application is for reattaching broken rosewood parts such as Stanley woodworking plane handles. When used with the black dye, the adhesion line perfectly matches the rosewood grain, making it virtually indistinguishable from the actual grain. The resin also adequately bonds the oily rosewood.

I've been using acraglas for over 31 years and have never had a problem with it. It is great for bedding of course, but the main use I have for it is mending cracked/broken stocks. I've used it for mending dishes and other things around the house for my wife also. It is a super product.
