Lead Filling Techniques Every Classic Car Restorer Should Know!

Join Wray from Pro Shaper Workshop in Charlton, Massachusetts, for an insightful demonstration on the art of Lead Filling Techniques, a technique essential for CLASSIC CAR enthusiasts. In this tutorial, Wray takes us through the process of fixing a low spot on a door skin, a common issue encountered during restorations, where traditional methods like knocking up the metal are not possible.

Wray, alongside his student Kevin, showcases the meticulous steps required for a successful lead load, starting from the preparation of the metal surface with a stiff wire brush to achieve clean metal, to the application of acid and the process of tinning which prepares the surface for the lead. Emphasizing the superiority of lead over Bondo for collector cars, Wray explains why lead is the preferred choice for achieving a durable and authentic restoration.

The video covers the entire process in detail, including the use of a wooden paddle for spreading the lead, the importance of lubrication to avoid sticking, and the technique of heating the metal to the perfect temperature for the lead to flow like butter. Wray also addresses common pitfalls, such as the challenge of working on vertical surfaces and the necessity of applying more material than you think you need to avoid the hassle of resoldering.

Filled with practical tips, such as how to reclaim and reuse lead, the use of candle wax as a lubricant, and the importance of cleaning the metal thoroughly with acid, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to master the technique of lead loading. The demonstration concludes with Wray showing how to file down the lead to achieve a smooth finish, leaving the finer details for Kevin to complete.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the world of automotive restoration, Wray's guide to lead loading offers invaluable insights into a technique that has stood the test of time, ensuring your restoration projects achieve the perfect finish.
