- I tried body solder on the seam where I welded a large patch into the rear deck of my bugeye (someone had cut the panel back for better access to the trunk!). It was not a good experience. The heat i

- Body solder vs plastic filler Plastic filler, when kept thin , is (IMO) a quite acceptable. The bad reputation that bondo has is from people who stick a peice of screen in back of the huge rust hole

- Hmmm. This sounds a lot like my gas tank experience. I actually got pretty good at applying solder to large areas of sheet metal; but not without pain. It's a skill I don't plan to take advantage of

- Speaking to a professional who does numerous concours restoratiuons, he insisted to me that uses for body solder are mostly outmoded. The new polyester-resin fillers (i.e. Bondo) are far superior in

- ** Have you ever noticed how bondo cans always say ``Light-weight Body Filler'' or somesuch? Body solder is *heavy*. If you use a lot of it, you increase the weight of the car. This makes it slower,

- you mentioned your gas tank experiences with solder. I think I might have heard about this on the net, but I could be mixing this up with some scary other stories. I know that one can't do the solde
