An OLD trick is to melt solder into the hole, filling the hole
completely... then ball hammering it for a force fit, then filing and
sanding it and primeing and final finishing the area... this is done
with the panel off and on a flat surface of course... it will not dry
and crack as some other methods will... 73 de Jordan...
