Body Lead Solder Stick 0.5kg – 27% Lead, 72% Tin, 1% Antimony Alloy for Panel Lead‑Loading & Classic Car Repair

Body Lead or Body Soldering Sticks are a tin – lead alloy, which is composed to hold the “butter” consistency over a big temperature range while it is being spread.

INTRODUCTION TO BODY SOLDERING:

– First clean the area to be filled back to bare metal with a stripping disc, sanding paper etc.

– Brush solder paint over an area slightly larger than that to be filled and heat the area gently until you see the solder paint tin the panel.

– Remove excess solder paint with a clean cloth.

– Next, melt blobs of lead onto the panel over the area to be filled.

– Prepare your paddles by warming the surface of the tallow and wiping your paddle in the molten puddle. With a suitable amount of lead now deposited on the panel, heat it carefully until it can be spread like butter with your paddle.

– Control heat carefully and keep spreading until body solder is evenly spread over area.

– Wash with cool water to quench and to remove traces of acid solder paint.

Approx 0.5kg per stick. Also available pack of 10.
