Even a full skin has to be welded. if you look at my home page go to album and you can see where the whole skin stopped, but you can get to it for planishing

I think that bodyglue is a better alternative for doors.
If you want to weld, spotweld with about two inches interval, cool it, grind it, hammer and dolly as you go. A slow process that will give the best results.

In order to use body glue you have to offset one panel and have an overlap, the combination of the to layers of door skin and the panel adhesive creates a thick area that shrinks and expand definitely than the rest of the panel. The results will be a ghost line in the paint where the seem is.

Yes, you are right. Every method requires knowledge and skill. I have´nt experienced ghostlines. Personally I dont like bondo since it tends to sink after a while if you apply it in thick layers. Led is a better alternative if u know how to prep the surfaces before and after.

Well if you’re using panel adhesive you ant using lead lol but to lead a panel that size you’d have a lot of warping
