Is there a tutorial/ step by step thread or video on how to bed a GI synthetic stock? I have searched but havent had luck. Thanks!

TonyBen, Gus Fisher, and Art Luppino have written on it from time to time, but I can't find the stickies. Maybe they'll remember. It's not hard to glass-bed a GI fiberglass stock if it's already a decent fit. You'll need acetone, MarineTex, release agent, modeling clay, a file or coarse sandpaper to rough the bedding surfaces, a barrel locating fixture like a bent piece of coathanger, and some material - fiberglass arrows or steel rods - to glass into the forearm to stiffen it. You don't cut into the fiberglass with a router like you would if you were bedding a wooden stock.

Just found this website that shows this bedding technique...seems like this would work well as a light bedding job on a fiberglass stock? just to snug up the receiver fit and give some added trigger group lock up. I see member Boomer1973 has had luck bedding with JB Weld. Thoughts? Thanks!
