Action Bedding

[ranger0787]

Has anyone ever heard of doing an action bedding job that adds powdered titanium to either Acra Glass or Marinetex? I know Devcon makes a "titanium putty". Many don't like it due to fast curing time and short pot life.

I'm contemplating bedding a blueprinted R700SA into a McMillan A6 Adjustable stock and adding titanium powder to the epoxy. As much as I can; 1:1, 1:2...etc.

Any pearls or pitfalls? Is it doable?

Not sure what issue you are looking to solve. The action is bolted down to 65-75 in/lb and the action is now (after bedding) supported by the epoxy. With that torque on the bolt you should not be able to crush the epoxy.

Ideally pillars also.

Devcon makes steel epoxy with steel particles, so titanium . . .
I have found the steel epoxy is not as smooth or easy to work with as regular epoxy.
