Expensive, but good stuff

I have bedded several rifle actions with it and have been satisfied so far. I like the putty because it's easier to control the application as it doesn't run like the liquids or gels. I use Kiwi neutral shoe polish as the release agent (see the article on stress free pillar bedding on 6mmBR.com) and it has worked fine. Because the putty is so thick, it can be a bit of a challenge to measure the proportions accurately.

Easy to work with

Great product. Easy to mix and it has a good working time for setup and curing. Gives a professional look when done. I've tried the steel and aluminum versions and both have worked well.

High quality product

The stuff does what is is supposed to. Slightly "thick" to be easy to work with as bedding, but manageable. Somewhat expensive but results are of highest quality.
