freaky510 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks Todd So get the Jasco premium paint and epoxy remover put it on cover it with Saran wrap. Have a beer and strip. It's the best and cheaper I have used so far Quote Link to comment

VintageRice Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why would you use lead?? We don't live in the 70's use modern lightweight filler. EVERCOAT FTW. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Why would you use lead?? We don't live in the 70's use modern lightweight filler. EVERCOAT FTW. .Never done it before and have always wanted to try it. Plus learning something new is always fun Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lead works pretty well, i have a buddy that had to do it on a resotoration, its time consuming but is a cool skill to have Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I like using lead as well. Works great for filling trim holes, just be sure to wear a good mask! Quote Link to comment
