lead body filler

Zwartsj

hi

I was just wondering if any one knows where I can get the lead sticks for body filling.

Now I know most people will tell me that I should rather use the plastic fillers because lead is going to kill you and ........
but the lead will be used for filling the cars body and not for eating
also the main reason for wanting to use lead is that according to a bit of research I have done it seams to be a bit more waterproof than the plastic stuff

if any one can advice it will be appreciated

Wouldnt recomend it the stuff is very expensive, for a bar maybe 9 inches long it'd be around 10€ unless you used it before and are skilled in doing it i wouldnt recomend it,

it not like isopon, you need acetalyne bottles, grease and alot of it, and a wooden paddle, Lead Loading as it is called, nobody uses it anymore not when isopon is so cheap.

You can also buy bars of solder/lead from the autofactors on the main street in Maynooth.
Keep well,

I have used isopon and personally i think its Sh*t ill rather go for pot putty (body filler as its call here) before i go for isopon ever again.

I know its not easy to use the lead but no part of restoring a car is easy and its one big learning curve going on here .

thanks torq ill check it out the next time i'm in Maynooth
