    Smuttys virginity aside....

    It should hold if you can cover the whole area with J.B. but that depends on where the hole is and what you are trying to acomplish.

    I have done this more times than i want to admit...

    Sand the paint off the area so the gas can't get between the paint and the J.B.,Take a small peice of steel, place it over the hole. Then cover the area with J.B. completley so you have "welded" the steel over your hole. That is the best method i have found. If you just J.B. over the hole it can leak.
