I'm getting the impression that some think that leading the joint eliminates the need of plastic filler. It doesn't.
The lead is just to strengthen the joint. There are still waves and depressions in the lead that need to be filled.
The joint on these flares are just as well filled with a filler like "all-metal" with some fiberglass resin mixed in.
