I cut it while its still soft enough before its fully cured.Looking for tips and tricks for getting nice sharp edges, particularly at the marked area of this stock at the barrel shank bedding area.
I've used modeling clay to dam the flow with mixed results. I've also used masking tape to create a place on the stock to hand finish back to in case the compound flows forward.
Any cool hacks to try?
Thanks.
No rush! Enjoy the hunt and good luck!I'm leaving in the morning for a deer hunt in central Utah. Be hunting with friends for 2 weeks. I will get something together afterward. Thanks for the suggestion!
That solves modeling clay sticking to the barrel when forming/trimming. Just couldn't get the clay to stick in the stock for trimming. Thanks! Lots of ideas I have received here.I put Scotch tape inside the stock - centering it where I want the line. Put small amount of modeling clay on it. I then use a single ply sheet from a 2-ply TP tissue over it. Put the action in. Squeeze it down to form fit the putty. Remove the action and TP tissue. Use Xacto knife to cut the tape and putty. Bed as usual. Use a Dremel to remove the oozed over glass. That is the best method I have used.
BTW, I only use clear Kiwi shoe polish (buffed with a soft cloth to a shine) for release agent. Perfect release every time - near zero gap between action and glass. Removes from the action with a bit of alcohol afterwards.
try blue masking tape. you just have to be ready to remove the little blue line from the end of the dried glass.That solves modeling clay sticking to the barrel when forming/trimming. Just couldn't get the clay to stick in the stock for trimming. Thanks! Lots of ideas I have received here.
Thanks, I do most of my actions full bed I feel it does abetter job and it doesn't allow anything to get in-between the action and the stock like just bedding the tang and lug can. I also did it with this Lone Peak Fusion Ti action because it isn't a round bottom it is a Multi flat action so if not full bedded it leaves even more space for foreign objects to get between the action and stock that may cause interference, plus it just looks great. There is nothing like a nicely done full bedding job.muleystalker , I like that the action is fully beded instead of just the front and tang .
