Reply To: Sedan top nail strip moldings

[Gregory Long]

Hi Jim and James. The original nails were sealed into the strip with a lead ‘BB’. A #6 or #8 shot. Then the BB was peened down, swelling it into the recess.

I don’t think the top material would survive having the strip heated hot enough to solder the hole shut.

I’ve drilled out the lead BB, and pushed the old nail out of nail-strips in the past.. a lot of work!
