+1for JB weld as a chemical metal filler/profiler, it's superb material and have used it for years...even repaired a 4.2ltr XJ6 engine sump with JB and it's still running strong 17+ years later.

The other option here is to braze-weld using low temp alloy rods. These are readily available from eBay etc., and the weld infills properly/does not fall out/provides a proper 'weld'. The key here is to ensure the parent metal is spotlessly clean...buzz back, thoroughly clean off with methylated spirit, heat dry, then braze-weld. When using to fill larger holes you might try taping a blocking piece of the rear of the panel to stop weld falling through. On box sections, build up weld as per normal mig/tig. I even used these to weld alloy breather necks to alloy oil filler caps on v8 engines

Whack a bit of coathanger in as you mig the hole...practice on some scrap steel with holes drilled to same size first...
