You could make Roger even happier using POR PATCH in place of JB Weld.
No mixing involved and it's supposed to have the anti-rust properties
of Por paint. It dries very hard and expands a bit, so you want to
sand it smooth before it's fully cured. I've fixed holes under
windshield seals with it. Works good...
