Has anyone ever used JB Weld to fill small whole from rust? I was thinking about using some for my car, but wasn't sure if it would have any negative effects.

Any thoughts?

If there is a hole on the outside, there is alot more rust on the inside. Filling it with ANYTHING will only make it worse (bandaid). The next time you see the rust, you will wish you had cut it out and welded a patch Smile
