Making my first attempts at body work, welded in the patch piece and grinded it down. Now what do I do to make it smooth? Plastic body filler like Bondo? I'm a little wary of using lead. I'm working in my garage and I have kids around. Don't want to poison anyone. Eastwood has a lead-free solder kit, but it's not cheap ($150). Is it any good? Is it worth the extra cost? Should I treat the bare metal patch area with something before I use body filler/solder?

Thanks for your help

Both are an exercise in patience and experience. IF done right both will serve the purpose..read the instuctions, good prep PROPER mixing of the bondo at the right temperatures will give a filler.

Flex is a killer....

Lead....if a proper mask is worn is not a bad filler.

The lead free solder...not tried it.
