My Dad taught me to lead load when I was restoring my E-Type Jag about 15 years ago. I used it for covering up all the panel joints and making perfect panel gaps. I felt I was really going back in time with my leather pad and wooden spoon but once I had mastered it my Dad was so happy that he had passed on one of those old school skills. Be sure you clean up the tinning flux thoroughly otherwise it will later mess with your paint. Pass this skill on if you can.
