That would now have to be J$B Weld. This is liquid steel that is Very easy to set up (if you bought the cheaper stuff) or the pre-made ready to go stuff. You just apply ot like you would Glue? or Bondo? And it sets. But it is also sandable so you can smooth out the surface in order to paint. I had a few boxes I had found in the past with holes to large to fill with anything that wouldnt fall out or look tacky. Also I had boxes that I drilled too many holes into or the holes were in the wrong place- This stoff solved the problem for well under 4 US dollars.

I've used Bondo for the same thing, and you can sand it in 1/2 hour!
