Atomized (finely powdered) metals can be added to Acraglas Gel to increase both tensile and compression strength along with increased impact resistance. This feature allows you to duplex-bed guns using reinforced Acraglas Gel where the recoil lug contacts the bedding and either un-reinforced Acraglas Gel or regular Acraglas for the rest of the bedding. These metals can be added in ratios ranging from 1 part metal to 4 parts of mixed Acraglas Gel, all the way up to 1 part metal to 1 part of mixed Acraglas Gel.

We offer several metals in atomized form:

• ALUMINUM - Very malleable with excellent machinability for easy drilling, tapping, shaping; polishes to a light gray finish.
• STEEL - Offers a full 10% increase in tensile and compression strength over unreinforced Acraglas Gel. Less machinable than aluminum reinforced; heavier, too. Resulting finish is a dull black that does not polish well and requires metal working tools for trimming or shaping.
• STAINLESS STEEL - All the attributes of steel particles but with a medium gray finish and no fear of rust formation on surface of bedding.
• BRONZE - Between aluminum and steels in workability; finishes to a "metalflake" highlighted, medium brown color and shapes easily using same tools as aluminum.
• TUNGSTEN - High density bedding reinforcement for heavy recoiling Guns. Add to ACRAGLAS GEL, to increase the impact resistance, compression and tensile strength. Tungsten is twice as dense as steel, offers superior impact resistance and makes it easy to add extra weight. Gives a medium gray finish that will not rust. Machine with carbide cutters.
