I'm working on an aluminum bonnet. Someone in the past had drilled some 1/4
inch holes in the panel to help hold Bondo in place. Why I don't know
because the bondo is very thin.

The aluminum bonnet is .050 thick and I'd like to not have the holes.  Can I
have the holes welded up if I find a good welder ?   Will there be a lot of
distortion if I do have it welded?  Or, should I perpetuate the  stupidity
and just fill the holes again with bondo and attempt to make the under side
as pretty as possible?


Thanks for any suggestions

Bob
