Ron Lead could change the CG. Also, if we used thicker foam, maybe it wouldn't melt.:)
Over the years I have done numerous street rods. When I first started I was fortunate to have had an old school rodder show me how to chop a top on an old merc. When we were done there must of been 100lbs. of lead in the seams. Looking back I can really appreciate body work as an art form. I was never really that good with lead. Watching an old timer do it made me appreciate how hard it is to do right. I have since moved on to airplanes but when you mentioned "lead" it made me laugh, and reflect back.

Worked with my Dad in our bodyshop in the 50 & 60s this was what we did on autobody work. Back then we used lead. Hey, One thing that works very well with finish work is to make a series of light hash marks with a pencil. Just create "x" patterns at 45 deg. to the direction of sanding. The pencil marks stay on all the low spots. It works best as one of the last steps in the finishing process. I have found a hard pencil works best. This is a very old auto body trick taught to me twenty some years ago. I have yet to do any finish work on a KR2 but I would imagine it would work just as well.

The filler becomes translucent as it gets thinner and the black color starts showing through as dark spots indicating you are getting close to the skin surface."" I mix blue pthalate dye with my filler for the same reason. I question the idea of having primer in the middle of layers of epoxy. Probably very minor.
