Marinetex is easy to use, hard as the hobs of hell and most importantly, doesn't shrink over time.

I've used it; 105 resin/205 hardener and 404 high density filler. Mixed nice and thick with a bit of black pigment added for cosmetics. Worked well. Quite a few people do use it internationally, including some widely respected gunsmiths.
I also find that 105 resin with 207 hardener makes a good stock finish for some applications, rubbed into and wiped off the wood like using Tru-oil.

Who in N Z sells Marinetex? I have tried looking for it in various places and just got a blank stare in response. Then attempts to sell me something else.

While on the subject of sticky stuff, does anyone know if J B Weld is obtainable here? I've had no luck getting that either.

Marine Deals have JB weld. That's what I used to do a 10/22, can't remember which one.

Without doubt Belzona 1111 is the best. Way, way harder than Marinetex or Devcon Plastic Steel and zero shrinkage. It's used to repair turbine blades among other things. Trouble is it's nearly $400 for a medium/small tub.

I used Marinetex on a Tikka T3x and it's easy to use and is good stuff for the money. I'm a little wary about their zero shrinkage claim and it's not as hard as Devcon Plastic Steel or Belzona 1111. Costs about $100 total sent from the U.S. via ebay for the 415g Gray pack. The gray is black, nothing gray about it.
