Here is Mark’s response as to why he removes old Lead.

Lead releases gases over the years. Looked at many cars in my 30yrs and lots of pimpling can be seen in these lead areas. So why then risk something like that on the body which can be very costly to fix after its all refinished ? To me its standard procedure I’ve done to every restoration in 30 years.

All I have ever used to replace it is short strand fibre glass reinforced filler over top of epoxy, never seen an issue on any cars I have completed and have seen many of my projects years to decades later. They have stood the test of time.
