go to the local plumbing outlet and pick up a product called Ferropre. it is a two pot epoxy mix that sticks like shit to a sheeps tail!
easy to work with and with a wet finger you will get a nice smooth result. best to place the mix on both sides of the hole so it bonds together, about $30.00.
or you can go to a good hardware shop and buy the KneadIt Aluminium epoxy mix in a tube for about $12.00 i think. both are very good but i lean towards the Ferropre and it will do almost sealing job you ask of it about the house, even split gear boxes and fuel tanks! just make sure the surrounding areas are clean and free of corrosion. if it sags, use a strip of duct tape to hold it in place. dries in about 15 mins.
