Traditionally the welding of lead has been known as lead burning. This is widely used as an alternative to bossing and is preferred for situations where bossing is likely to result in unacceptable thinning of the lead sheet.
Lead bossing as well as lead burning should best be learned from a skilled instructor. Although hydrogen and propane can be used in combination with oxygen for welding, the gases normally used for building work are oxygen and acetylene.
Portable equipment is now in common use, making in-situ work much easier than in the past.
