Lloyd90 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 What kind of bedding is it? How much does it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Usually devcon. And a couple of hundred. Or you can try a DIY. But read up before, or it can get messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the mess you need to worry about Dougy it the mechanical lock, if you are doing a DIY job make sure you fill all the holes properly, (I use model clay)and coat thoroughly with the freeing agent that is usually supplied, good luck. I use acraglass or Devcon depending on the job £100 depending on what's required for glass or pillar and glass bedding from £120 That's a fair price WW considering the work involved.

Lloyd90 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I use acraglass or Devcon depending on the job £100 depending on what's required for glass or pillar and glass bedding from £120 It of my (limited) understanding that you would have first pillar and then glass bedding ? So it would be £100 for the pillars and then £120 for the glass ? Is that correct ? Apologies if wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can just glass bedded the whole or part of the action. So £100 or from £120 two options not £120 plus £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
