Hi Guys,,,
Just out of interest sake I'm putting this up.
I have found a two pack product that I thought might be ok for bedding rifles with.
So I bought it and have done some experiments with it to ascertain its suitability.
First up I mixed up approx a couple table spoons of it and applied it to a piece of 20 mm plywood.
There was a hole approx 12mm deep made by a 1" diameter drill bit.
After filling it I laid (horozontally) the hex head and section of a 1/2" bolt embedded in it. (coated with a release agent)
After 24 hrs curing time (its workable for up to an hour) I lifted the bolt out.
I then laid the plywood on a piece of 2" plate steel and hammered a center punch in to the cured material approx 10mm deep.
The material did not shatter, split, or dislodge from the plywood.
I then put the plywood into the vice and proceeded to hammer and chisel a deep Vee section cross ways out of it.
The rest remained attached to the plywood.
I think after that sort of abuse, it would be safe to say that it would be good to bed a heavy kicker rifle with.
The product is also non shrinking.
It is called "Sika Concrete Fix Kit", (Sikadur 33) and comes in two tubs Part A and Part B
1 to 1 mixing ratio.
