Duracoat rocks, if your going to use the canned propellant keep the can in a bucket of water to help keep the temp up so that you don't have an issue with the can freezing up. Also if not curing in an oven allow at least two to three days for a good hard shell to form prior to working with the finished piece.

Oh yeh, if your going to glass bed the action, do your bedding before the Duracoat. Epoxy bedding compound and Epoxy based paint will weld the gun to the stock. Found that one out the hard way, ended up having to cut the stock with a dremel and then chipping the bedding compound off, sand blasting the gun and doing it all over again.
