I'd suggest you start a new Thread to pose your question concerning a good finish on pitted SxS barrels refined with epoxy.

I'm sure the brain-trust of Ghostrider, DimmyW, and TransGomer Joff will offer some great thoughts that will only enhance the archive of accumulated knowledge here.

Afterwards, there may not be any solutions, but we could give participation awards to all who contributed.

I can't read the post above me because I have them on IGNORE. From what I am reading, the blast from a shotgun blast can reach a temperature of 1000 degrees. For me it would be easier to just line the barrels. Or maybe get inserts. But the gun would have to be awfully special for me to even fool with it.

Would be hard to get inside a barrel though. Just sayin'.

DimmyW, if you really had me on IGNORE, you wouldn't even know I had made a Post. There would be nothing to see, and no notification that someone you were IGNORING had submitted a Post.

It works the same way for Ted and everyone else you are pretending to IGNORE. This is worse than TransGomer Joff proclaiming he cannot possibly be triggered. Actually, he is like a set trigger set so light, a mosquito fart could release it.

So let me offer a suggestion that will help you get your AutoZone Exhaust and Muffler Epoxy inside a shotgun barrel:

First, you must remove it from the packaging. That will help a lot. Then you will have to open the tubes and mix it at the correct ratio of resin to hardener. Then you can use a cleaning rod and a swab or patch to apply the mixed epoxy in your bores.

You should probably do this as a preventive measure, even if you don't have any pits in your barrels. If you use a heavy enough coat, or multiple coats, you may be able to increase the value of your guns by turning 12 ga. guns into 16, 20, or even 28 gauge guns. Be careful, this isn't that paste you ate all through school. Do not eat it!

I certainly do not wish to discourage this sort of experimentation, because others have said I shouldn't... no matter how utterly stupid or dangerous it might be.

This is something that should be encouraged, the sharing of ideas and healthy conversations between reasonable members....

Please let me know how this works out the next time you pretend you are IGNORING me. Good luck.

No reason to read it, it's just the board cancer trolling.
