Why not?

I have seen jobs where the rust was cut out and new metal was "glued" in.

I was perfectly satisfied with the result, and have been for 3 years.

I used Fusor 12B 2-part epoxy on the lower rear corner of the rear wheelwell arch. I "fused" a complex shape of about 5 pieces including flat patches for the trunk floor. I used a very minimum amount of kitty hair fiberglass to get a good contour. You can't tell it from the original.

I used it to patch small holes in the floor. I have some much bigger projects in mind for this stuff.

The beauty of it is that it does not induce corrosion like a weld would.
