Filling Holes In Sheet Metal

Body filler is a simple way to repair freshly cleaned holes.

Filling holes in sheet metal.

Holes in thin metal can be filled with plugs. Repairs cracks or porosity leaks in cast metal parts. When filling thick sheet metal like that i let the copper plug stay a little proud on the show side and dressed it down the back side i filled with polyester filler bondo and as it deserves repeating i can not over emphasize the importance of cleaning the sheet metal thoroughly before soldering. Forms a long lasting metal tough bond.

Perhaps a simple rivet or sheet metal screw can be secured in the hole. If the hole needs to contain a liquid a rubber washer can go on the sheet metal screw to render it water tight. Fills small holes cracks and perforations. Easy to use filler can be drilled filed sanded and painted.

Whether you re dealing with a small piece of sheet metal or something valuable like a car you can fix it. If you know how to weld take advantage of your tools for a longer lasting repair. Excellent adhesion to galvanized metal.
