Pillar block bedding a chassis questions

[wywindsor]

Has anyone done this with success? I see Wolf has vid on bedding, but not with pillars.

I have a cnc shop that will build me a custom chassis for a Bat M action. This is a single shot magnum. Do you have recommendations on how much clearance one uses for bedding?

.050" is a typical bedding thickness on a traditional stock. Most people skim bed a chassis so in that case .000" allowance for a chassis.

What is the best material for bedding in aluminum? I was thinking Belzona.
Also should I machine slots, stair steps or small holes for the epoxy to adhere to?

Belzona is an awesome epoxy product, When I worked for Caterpillar we used it to repair blocks that had electrolosis damage where the liner O-rings seat.

We use it at the refinery I work at in pump cases. I thought if it will endure what we put it through it would out live the gun.
