Restoring a body with tin - the basics.
Hello!
I am posting information from a book on car restoration.It would be good if one of the forum members tried it in practice and then posted photos of the process.
Dear moderators could move the description of my experiments from another thread.
Good luck!
Is it possible to scan with a normal scanner? Or write the name of the magazine, year and issue number, otherwise it’s not very convenient to read from photographed images ;(otherwise it’s an interesting topic))

As far as I know, solder was used before, when there were no polymer putties yet. Then putties replaced this method, because... tinning is much more labor intensive. As for protection against rust, it is also very controversial - I won’t say for sure about lead, but tin and iron form a galvanic couple in which the iron will rot first.

The advantage of soldering is that the solder does not shrink, which is very important when repairing panels that are in plain sight and are the first to catch the eye... by the way, on my Mazdas the two seams on the roof are soldered from the factory...

just the opposite, tin has the opposite effect, iron will be more intact) P.S. a long time ago, when I was still little interested in cars, I came across a Soviet book where, in order to preserve the body of a car, it was proposed to attach tin plates in places most susceptible to corrosion, to protect them. P.P.S. 965e Cossacks came with a tinned bottom, which had a very positive effect on their safety (I saw it with my own eyes
