These welds were uncovered when stripping a Boardman frame. What is the pale non-silver stuff?

Looks like filla 😀
filler?
A way to smooth off the welds?
yup filler.
They smooth the welds with filler to give you that nice smooth look. Otherwise you would just get blunt tube transitions with weld beads.

Thanks chaps. Sometimes it's the most obvious answer!
Think orange 5 welding.. then think what would be a good way to smooth it out.
Boardman filing cabinet outed !

Pretty sure whoever did the downtube frame on my 224 was pissed, so maybe some filler on the top of his hipflask would have helped 😉
I believe it's called Bondo. Marin went through a phase of using it to smooth welds too.
