I am going to do some repair work (stocks) and would like your opinion on this stuff.

It dries very hard with little, if any shrinkage. I use it to pillar bed my rifles.

I recommend the Gel over regualr acraglass since it is easier to manage and won't run.

A lot has to do with what you are going to use it for and where. Acraglas is runnier and has a longer set up time but you need to make sure it doesn't get anywhere you don't want it. Acraglas Gel has a bit shorter setup time and pretty much will stay where you put it. Each has its own applications.

I've used Acraglas gel for many, many things- grom bedding actions to repairs to actually gluing stocks together that broke at the wrist! It has never failed me. Furniture, dashboards, you name it...great stuff.
Xringshooter is correct though- be careful it doesn't go where yo don't want it. Use the dye sparingly ( a little goes a long way) to match the color needed.
Good luck!
