Speaking to a professional who does numerous concours restoratiuons,
he insisted to me that uses for body solder are mostly outmoded. The
new polyester-resin fillers (i.e. Bondo) are far superior in most
applications (in his opinion) as long as the underlying sheetmetal is
done correctly.
He openly admits going through gallons of filler on a single restoration
but is quick to point out that 99% of it ends up on the floor.
