The paint shop I used said that lead contributes to failure of a repair. The
lead eventually starts working its way out of the joint and...well you know
the rest. I'm sure it also does lots of other nasty things to cause a
breakdown, too, due to differences in how it reacts to different substances
and environments compared to steel. They removed all the lead out of the
joints on my car and used a filler, which they said bonds to the metal much
better and is not as reactive. Been a couple years now and no cobweb
cracking where they got the lead out.

Subject: rust repaire
After finding rust in all the usual places on my front fenders, I have
decided to use lead solder to fill in the pin holes and an Eastwood product
on the inside called "rust encapsulate". Any thoughts, pro or con on this
idea, as well as suggestions from those of you who have done this before.

I too am interested in answers to this question. I
have heard a lot about two particular products and
would like to know which ones folks consider the best
and the pros and cons of each. The products are zero
rust http://www.zero-rust.com/ and por-15
http://www.por15.com/
TIA
