Do-It-Yourself

A little quick DIY for stock texture, for those who like to do it themselves.


This can be done using Marine-Tex or Steel-Bed. I am sure there are some other products that could be used but these are the best I have found with Steel-Bed being the best for me.


Tape off the area you want to put the texture. Spread a very thin coat of the Steel-Bed on the stock, just enough to cover the area.


Using the tongue depressor that is in the kit or something similar, bounce the flat part of the stick on the still wet bedding to get the textured effect.

Once the bedding has dried for about an hour, and still kind of tacky, remove the tape, pulling at a sharp angle to leave a nice sharp edge. If the bedding has a sharp raised area where the tape was, wet your finger and rub along the edge and it will knock off the edge but still give that nice sharp transition.
