I know that leading is supposed to be superior to bondo, but how does one find information on it. It seems to be somewhat of a lost art. I ask this because not only do I want to stay away from bondo, but I also have a 59 1/2 Chevy Pickup I plan to restore in the future. You guys know any informative websites on this subject?

Yes, melted with a torch and spread with a hardwood handle coated in some form of wax - not sure if it's paraffin or what. Beware of fumes - lead is nasty stuff and the fumes aren't conducive to your good health.

 

How much of an area do you need to cover? This, like Bondo, isn't something you want to spread real thick...

I have a few rock dings I want to fill in before I repaint. I am ignorant about bondo and have this strange notion that bondo covered metal will rust out in a few short years. Am I worrying about nothing?

Leading sounds like a much better solution.
