Back when I co-owned a body shop, we called those Bondo artists "Mud Daubers". I learned the torch trick to loosen up old body filler about 50 years go. Other than some "period-correct" restoration work, body solder (lead) is pretty much a thing of the past. Ditzler used to sell a powdered product called "Aluma-Lead" that was a lot easier to work with, and could be used in places plastic filler didn't work. I believe the powdered aluminum was mixed with clear lacquer to form a stiff paste that dried pretty hard and could be used to repair rusted-through areas in windshield and rear window channels. It's been close to 40 years since I've seen any of it. Jerry
