Might work fine but I'll never let myself find out the hardway.

I couldn't imagine trying to repair this using any type of modern filler. I had to replace the metal behind and re-lead. They usually rot out behind the lead in the body seam. That edge was done and shaped to the door from the factory. I've been wanting to try his recipe from way back but I haven't. he makes his own tin flux and maybe it acts different then the tinster flux that is available to us. I don't really agree with doing it this way. He just wire brushed the tinned metal clean before applying the lead. I have Kent's dvd on leading and he doesn't mention nutralizing the flux in it. Lab Metal is some impressive stuff though, fun to play with. I've always thought of 'metal' body fillers as bondo with aluminum powder, which I'm not sure would have any benefit anyway. That said, I haven't used LM on a metal door edge either, but I've actually ran a bead down the edge on a few and dressed the welds (brit cars ). That would not be a good idea as you'd prob never get it sanded flat, and as you say they have standard autobody fillers made for that. It may fair better than most fillers in this kind of application? I've used it in the shop for various typed of projects but never a body filler on say, a wide flat surface. On seams, filler of any kind isn't going to add any significant strength to a welded joint and personally I would use Poly-Flex there every time because the panel will flex there differently than the area around it, Poly Flex will move much more than regular filler before cracking.īut on a (metal) door edge I would be very much tempted to use lab metal as it does have lots of tensile strength (for a filler) and bond strength.
