That depends on the material.  If a modern composite therre would not be a problem.  These are mainly constructed of polyester resin and a strengthener, fiber glass, kevlar, etc.  Some of the older composites were actually made of a thermo plastic material and modern epoxies can and will damage most plastics.  What type of stock are you speaking of..  If in doubt I would test on a small hidden area before bedding the stock..
