Filling body holes with lead (lead free)
As a response to filling body holes I decided to write this. A few people were interesting in this method of filling holes.
Excuse my inability to do this as well as I probably could have but this is my first thread, so on that note.... take it easy on me, however some constructive criticism would be good as well. The First Picture you will note is: Tools that you probably either have or could get cheaply. The Second: An area that needs some work (has holes, although you can fix dents with lead too) The Third: I cleaned up the area I was working with using the rol-loc sandpaper discs (80grit) and feathered the edges with a block sander to make a smoother transition until i strip the rest of the paint. The Fourth: I prepped the area with tinning flux that you can buy as well from Eastwoods The Fifth: Is the area after using the Torch to "burn in the flux" - After spreading the flux use your torch to heat it up - You will see the flux start to change from gray to "chrome" - Evenly heat the area so it turns it this way and wipe off while still hot - After you are through it should look similar to this.
