What is the BROWNELLS - Steel Bed Kit 64oz (Resin 32oz & Hardener 32oz)?

What is STEEL BED? Simply the most-advanced, toughest- ever bedding and stabilizing, steel-bearing, epoxy compound for wood and fiberglass gun stocks. Designed specifically for GUNS, to give the incredible impact resistance that’s possible only by surrounding the action with a layer of solid, never-rust stainless steel and the skin-tight, epoxy-matrix fit so vital for superb accuracy. Through a unique blending process, there’s actually more stainless steel (by weight) than epoxy in STEEL BED - 2½ times more steel than in competitive products. STEEL BED shrinks less than 1⁄10 of 1% and won’t compress, crumble or “sugar” under the most punishing magnum or semi- auto recoil. Fiberglass stockmakers use it to support the recoil lugs of their lightweight mountain rifles; military armorers and civilian shooters use it under the most grueling conditions without breakdown or deterioration. We tested and abused STEEL BED every way possible and, once we were convinced of its amazing superiority, test samples went to armorers, gunsmiths and competitive shooters. They tested STEEL BED in “real life” situations - it met and exceeded every demand made of it! No cracking, crazing or “sugaring”. Group sizes got smaller. All the guns tested - semi-auto, 1000 yard, bolt-action match rifles, benchrest guns and hunting rifles - performed better after bedding with STEEL BED. Because of the extremely high stainless steel content, it’s tough to dye STEEL BED to match wood tones but, our latest dyes are so powerful that you can get a useable brown color for wood stocks and a very good black for synthetics. Another choice is to paint the STEEL BED along with the synthetic stock. If you want the best possible color match on a wood stock, you can use STEEL BED for recoil lugs and pillar bedding and ACRAGLAS® or ACRAGLAS GEL® (which are more easily dyed) in those places where the bedding will be visible. STEEL BED really is the ultimate, steel-bearing bedding compound. Besides being incredibly strong and tough, it’s very easy to use. The mixing ratio is a simple, 1-part Resin to 1-part Hardener, by volume, and the creamy, no-run texture means STEEL BED will stay where it’s put. STEEL BED KIT - (1) 1½ fl. oz.

Hard as steel
I've tried quite a few glass bedding kits. This is by far the best. Less shrinkage and very durable.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Steel Bed Epoxy Review
I have bought and used this for years and its a great product. When you get a new kit open both the harder and resin and stir (not mix) each one separately in their respective containers. Some of the kits I received in the past, (the individual resin/hardner) did show a little dryness on top and if you stir them first it works better. Then mix proportionally per the instructions and be sure to stir/mix for at least the required two minutes. Setup time is good not to long or too quick. It hardens like a rock/steel but can be easily filed. As a suggestion, after applying the epoxy, let it set for a short time until set up has begun, then go back and carefully wipe off of smooth the excess around the edges of your rifle/pistol and even inside the actions if required. Makes final clean up easer. Also be sure to use release agent and clay dams in areas you don't want the epoxy to flow into. I have used it on many M1A/M1 Garands for complete match conditioning as well as bedding numerous bolt action rifles and never had a problem. For cleaning tools, mixing boards etc, try cleaning with plain vinegar. My only comment is that I wish you could color it somewhat, however knowing the mature of the material I get that you can't!

Quality Stuff...
I used it for bedding MIAs, 10/22s, etc. Holds strong, fills easily. Performs best when mixed thoroughly. I've also used Acraglas and Acraglas Gel. All highly recommended.
