Finely powdered metals can be incorporated into acraglas gel to enhance tensile and compressive strength, as well as to improve impact resistance. This capability facilitates the duplex bedding of firearms by employing reinforced acraglas gel at the recoil lug contact points, while utilizing unreinforced acraglas gel or acraglas in areas of the stock subjected to less stress. The addition of atomized metals can be adjusted in ratios ranging from 1 part metal to 4 parts mixed bedding, up to a 1 - 1 ratio of metal to bedding mix.

• Stainless steel offers all the properties of steel particles, featuring a medium gray finish and enhanced corrosion resistance, eliminating concerns of rust formation on the bedding surface
