BTW, there are other products to consider. One is MinWax's Wood Hardener. It uses a VERY nasty solvent so use in a ventilated location. It will dissolve things like foam brushes pretty well too. This is great for coating the insides and it penetrates like CA. Again, no bedding advantage,. but for a gun that will see wet and ugly, it will do a great job.

Your best bet is to try some of these on scraps of wood with inlets in them so you can get used to handling the materials and avoid issues like puddling or whatever. Then soak them with oils, water, try crushing a few, and cut them apart to see how the material has performed at the various tasks you want it to do.
