Black bedding compound?

[icebear]

Yesterday I took apart a custom Sako and found that the action and barrel had been bedded with a black compound. Have any of you seen a bedding compound in black? I'm thinking it might be one of the J-B Weld family.

Not sure about black
I had a 7 mag Deluxe long ago that was bedded, it was the color of bubble gum.
Like already chewed Hubba Bubba…

In years past, I have dyed Brownell's AcraGlas epoxy black on occasion.

Bedrock comes with black dye too. Acraglas has quite distinct stink to it. Scratch and sniff might give it away if you have a known sample to compare with. (I haven't tried it but just my thoughts)

Devcon plastic steel and JBWeld steel epoxy are both VERY dark grey - almost black. Devcon is expensive and one of the best epoxies for rifle bedding. I'd bet that's what it is.

I use Loctite EA3471. It is quite black.

Bisonite is black and a magnet will stick to it.

Marine Tex gray looks black until you start sanding or filing it and then it looks gray.

Yeah, acraglass will still have the Acrylate stink to it. I only ese the black dye with composite stock application.
