Front offside wing repair pt5...

So a first time for me... lead loading. Cleaned the surfaces with flux paste and started melting the lead sticks along the joint and over the spot welds - the first few inches I had more lead on the ground until I got the right melting point figured out.

Using a flat and half-round file I quickly removed the excess lead and started reshaping the edge.

Since these photos I've used a dual action sander and found that the spot weld will need body filling as the lead is too soft even using by hand a fine wet and dry paper unless its my skill level?
