Spray on VS Roll on bed liner

A pound goes a long way. for filling holes and seams a little goes a long way.

If you have any woodworking skills take a 1x4 board rip it in to a 1/2 x4 cut out the paddles and sand them to shape on a belt sander. Takes 15 minutes to make a pile of paddles.
Make sure you order flux when you order the lead.

well then, I think I will go ahead and order them. Thanks smokey, I would have never considered leading, but it seems not only logical, but economical as well. Of course, while I say that, it may take me a pound of lead to fill 1 pin hole until I get some experience under my belt.

Do a video of it. Or at least pictures.

It really isn't hard to do at all. for floor panels it should be easy peasy. Filling trim holes on a quarter panel still on the car is a bit harder to master but not by much. Using lead you don't get the "dimples" that putty creates when filling imperfections.

should I order that stuff (cannot remember the name of it) that I stick my paddle in first that keeps the lead from sticking to the paddles?

Will do, but only if it looks good

Hey Smokey, check this out and see if this could be used for leading. I e-mailed the seller asking for a 70/30 lead to tin mix and he responded with the following
"i sell to alot of sleders and that is the comman mix i have some who use 75/25.well sell both kinds or we cam mix them for you. we mix with pure tin and pure virgin lead.body solder is cheaper here then if you look for it made on ebay i hope i helped thanks brian/tina"

Thanks for the link. I may have to contact them. A friend and I make our own fishing weights so that may work for that.
I prefer the eastwood lead-free solder it works better in many ways that the lead type.

So you used lead-free solder for leading on vehicles? I thought you recommended 70/30 lead/tin

I use both actually but the lead free is easier to learn with. The flow isn't as fast with the lead free making it easier to work with.
Kinda hard to find any that isn't lead free these days really.

If it is lead free than what is it actually made of?
