    I am working on my Triumph frame and have a divot that I need to fill... Body filler won't do because I want to get the frame powder coated... SO,

    Where do I get lead to fill the divot with?

    Thanks,

    Tim

    The Heat from Curing the Powder Coating will soften the lead and cause it to "Sag". I know from Experience. I leading in a peak on the grill of my 36 then powder coated it and the lead softened up and sagged.

    You will be better off using Alumafill Or some other filler specifically designed for use under powdercoating. EASTWOOD has some listed.

    Could it be welded and sanded smooth?
