You can use a chisel on lead. Sometimes even a razor blade.

put a wood cutting blade on your band saw and it will cut the lead quick and
easy if you let it get hot it will be harder to work with so do a little at
the time.Same with drilling a little at the time.If it was easy it would not
be as much fun.

Don -
I used a fine-tooth hack saw and lubed the blade with T-9 (Boelube in a
spray can) to rough out the lead. Then used a rat-tail rasp to rough out
the inside radius, finish with a chainsaw file. Vixen file for the flat /
outside radius areas. Also used T-9 on the files and cleaned the files
often with the file card / wire brush.

Hi All,
Got started on the firewall and the fit of the recess is causing me fits. All
the holes line up except the top two (#30's). I have to really bend/push/shove
the cleco to get it in which isn't right. And there's no way I'm going to be
able to get a rivet in there and properly seated.
Is this normal do I possibly have a malformed/malpunched recess?
Thanks,

That's a fairly normal situation. Don't sweat it. You are going to
proseal that puppy in place anyhow. Just get it in as best as you
can. If there are small gaps, they'll be covered with the goop.

Pro-seal?? Uh-oh Guess I missed that part - I just riveted mine in.
Well, I guess I'll have to just apply it around the edges from the inside.

While dimpling one of the skins on my QB wings, my son who has manning the
hammer while I manipulated the skin hit the dimpler before I was ready and
left a malpositioned dimple and hole. I did what everybody else has done,
tried to flatten it as best I could and then moved on. In twenty years, I
will look at that hole and praise God I was able to build an airplane with
my son.

I second that warning! I also took off what the print said and it was too
light, and had to add some back. I wonder if the paint job will effect the
final balance of the elevator to the point of having to remove material?
Any words of wisdom from those completed RV's?
I used my band saw with a wood hook blade (6 teeth per inch) and several
relief cuts perpendicular to the direction of cut, and hand filed it smooth.
It worked like a champ just take your time.
