    Oh I learned from a master, this guy could run his hand over something you worked on for hours and feel a low spot you could not see or feel period. He would wet it and run a squeegee over it and then tell you to lay your head right on the line of the body and move the light just so and yup, a tiny low spot. To him Bondo was something you used to make a mold for a fiberglass part you had to make for a Corvette and then it was thrown out! Metal was worked out until it needed a skim coat glaze for sanding scratches. And even they had better be at a minimum. Yea, he was tough but I am glad it was him that taught me. Of coarse that is all moot point with todays plastic cars.

    That's a shame, it is a very interesting article from 1915, Has all kinds of news from the Typsetters Union newsletter in there and ads from all the old printing suppliers.

    12 Tin
    20 Antimony
    Some traces of other elements
    Basically it is foundry type without the small amount of copper typically found
