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

Aaron,

I googled "all metal" and nothing came up. Are you talking about "Lab-metal"? Anyone use Lab-metal for body work?
