How to Fill Trim Holes

I used that exact article to fill about 30 holes on my old Belvedere I. It was cool, it worked! A small torch is all it took, but it was tricky to dial in the flame perfectly and unless the lead is just right, it can be difficult to work with. The tape backing worked too.

As with any welding, watch for too much or too little heat and don't make a big lump with the lead or your body guy will curse you for making wavy panels.

Also, make sure you can get to all the holes to back them up with the tape or find an alternative. A few of the holes were basically unreachable from the inside.

Practice where it can't be seen or on a junk panel until you get the hang of it. The first ones I did sucked compared to the last ones. 8)
