I misread this as 'work ethnic' and was confused, because work ethnic is when you repair rust by cutting it out, gluing a coke can over the hole and filling it up with body filler/bondo.

I prefer to put a piece of cardboard in the hole and then backfill with expanding foam before applying bondo

If it looks stupid but works it ain't stupid. I ripped the rubber boot on my prop shaft while wheeling so I refilled it with axle grease, wrapped it up in a trash bag and gaffer tape. Lasted a week till I got around to fixing it
