I'd like to have some 25/75 solder bars too. It would be great to know who makes it for him. I think he even has very large diameter bars so he can put a lot of solder on at once on a bigger job. The info. here is very helpful. A lot of people have the pinhole/pits problem he speaks of, and I'll try using a towel rather than steel wool.
Bill Hines work his magic .. Love watching this man work .. A true master of a dieing craft . The new panel beaters don't have a clue all they do is fill it with bog and plastic .
my dad worked in a body shop in the fifties not a lifer body and fender man , and when i did my mustand he did a little spot with mapp torch an asbestos rag and some 70/30 or 50 50 i forget but plumbing solder...this was in 98' and he didnt neet to file it. a pit or two at most 4 4"x4" spots of welds look like art....i think of him and all the old guys whenever i solder...
oh now i know because of the sanding why he stressed the importance of a water wall!!!
I remember watching Bill Hines work his magic at his small shop on Long Beach Blvd in Lynwood, CA around 1961 when I was 12 years old. Bill did the body and paint work and there was a guy named Martinez I think who did custom upholstery. I used to dig through their trash looking for scraps of naugahyde to use on my model cars.
