Default Filling small holes in panel?

Any recommendations on what to use to fill small holes in an aluminum panel?


Very small(screw) holes can be filled by counter sinking and putting a flat head screw in, followed by a bit of filler.
Larger(switch size) holes, assuming no interference with something on the back face, can be covered from the back by a small piece of aluminum, bonded with epoxy, followed by filling he hole with body filler.
Unsupported body filler will fail in a short time.
Good Luck
