sorry its late to comment, but another trick to filling sheetmetal holes is to back up the weld area with a block of aluminum,,, the weld (steel) wont stick to the aluminum and gives a solid surface to stop the welding wire/rod from making a large clump on the other side of the sheetmetel ( a trick we used in restoring classic cars with REAL metal)

That is WONDERFUL info! I wish I had been told that before I finished! It would have saved a lot of time and grinding!!

Its really hard to back the holes!! Copper is used alot for the same reasons it will not flow and bond with the iron or any other metal. That is why almost all welding claps have copper shoes.

I'm happy to see people actually willing to help.

I'd stay away from the solid composite abrasives as well and go with a flap wheel disc and then polish smooth by hand with paper or pad.
