Filling holes in sheet metal.

If you know how to weld take advantage of your tools for a longer lasting repair. Body filler is a simple way to repair freshly cleaned holes. If the hole needs to contain a liquid a rubber washer can go on the sheet metal screw to render it water tight. By filling in holes you stop rust in its tracks and ensure the metal lasts longer.

Holes in thin metal can be filled with plugs. Whether you re dealing with a small piece of sheet metal or something valuable like a car you can fix it. Works on metal wood and concrete. Perhaps a simple rivet or sheet metal screw can be secured in the hole.

The kind of plug to use depends on how the thin metal is being used.

Excellent adhesion to galvanized metal.
