Thread: DEVCON

Where can you get this in NZ ?

Are there different sorts of it ?

Devcon 10110

Best bedding compound known to man

Saeco bearing supplies

Engineering supplies

Yep, George Henry sells it.
Go for the plastic steel.
Only issue with it is that it smells like mouse shit!

Devcon also has a shelf life though, from memory it’s pretty generous.

I got some about a year ago from blackwoods protector safety.

Thanks guys !

It looks as if it's available locally from NZ Safety Blackwoods: https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/...each--04124500 I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

Tubes,was a bit mean with the amount.

Great stuff I have a rifle bedded with the aluminium one hasn't moved since 1984, The other one I like is Acraglass by Brownells with the Atomised stainless steel
that is just as good.

Black woods in te rapa straight sell the small tubes,2 is usually enough to do 2 rifles ,bout $40 from memory.

Wow, this is industrial strength stuff.

The resin is Bisphenol A number one bad girl endocrine disruptor, banned from baby bottles. May as well cut your nuts off as get that stuff inside you.
The hardener is various amines (the mousy smell) highly toxic to skin contact and there is no good recommended glove type. Even nitrile is only rated for short term contact.
No contaminated clothing must leave the work site.
This will be why they give you such a generous sized paddle to mix it with.

The hardener is really light stuff. You mix it 1:9 by weight or 1:2.5 by volume so the resin must be 3x as dense.

How have people measured the components to make it up ? I'm inclined to pour some resin into a plastic tub and weigh it on a powder scale then pour in the hardener to just the right weight. The manufacturer does recommend using the whole pack at once. yeah ... nah. I can see the tubes would be easier to work with but it doesn't actually say 10110. Any advice ?

I haven't used that one, but yes measuring it on a scale is probably the easiest way of doing it. Epoxy is pretty sensitive to mix ratios, you cant put less hardener to make it kick slower. Make sure it is really well mixed

Follow the application temps closely too, epoxies are temp sensitive. (know from experience)

Chris, I have some better bedding compound than Devcon 10110 that I can give you.
