[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 989778, member: 51650"] The reason you should avoid carbon fiber as bedding is it is higher on the electromotive series and when wet will form a battery with iron/steel and the steel will corrode. Even stainless steel that is passivized (made more corrosion resistant) will be attacked. In marine applications there is a Kevlar/Dyneema layer between the carbon fiber and any metal parts. It is so reactive that the effect is quite rapid. Hunt in the rain and your action screws could be toast when you get back home. The pillars for the action screws should be a plastic or Kevlar/fiberglass material. Boat guys deal with this all the time. KB [/QUOTE]
