    i did years ago,but with todays fillers its just so easy not to lead load
    it takes sooooo long,the results are more satisfying and if done properly a better products.
    you need heat,
    flux paste ,lead ,dollies,thinners,wire wheel and time..it may all go pete tong as well.

    it would be ok,doing it yourself or getting someone else?
    it would be expensive getting it done properly,if you balls it up might cost more
    but you ripple the roof youll be unhappy and end up with a tub of filler to put it right.
