You're disturbed Dayclona
After I read the original post, I just lost it!......it was like the early 80's again, I was going to suggest some waded newspaper, or perhaps doing the repair correctly using and old street sign to fill the hole?....I don't know why he's using spraycans?.....a paint roller works just fine, maybe even blot it on with a paint sponge from HomeDepot.......perhaps you use this technique too?.......hence the need for

As previously stated, bondo is not for stuffing in holes. Here's what I'd suggest ....
With some sheet metal screws (wood screws will do in a pinch) secure some sheet metal behind the hole - as mentioned, a street sign does work well.
With a large hammer, pound the repaired area in so that the heads of the screws are below the body line.
Apply a sufficient amount of bondo to level the body panel.
Finish as desired.
Remember, a paint job is only as good as the bodywork underneath.
 The last line REALLY killed me.

I am no body man and I can even tell you ....you dont fill in holes with bondo. If its accessible from behind weld in a plate from behind. If its inaccessible, cut out the bad metal, make a piece out of cardboard and make it fit. Then take the cardboard onto some sheetmetal and cut it as that template. Get some magnets, at least 3, make sure they can hold some weight, tack weld the piece on, grind down the welds. If you are unsure at this point and you arent making a decent restoration, dimple the metal around the seam you just welded and lay down some fiberglass. I dont care for bondo. If you care about the overall straightness of the car with this new piece, start block sanding but it sounds like you are in a rush and trying to keep water out of something....course...thats how I would go about fixing it but I dunno where you are working or on what

What they all said about filling holes with Bondo....
If you are trying to "plug"holes, get a thick piece of copper and hold it behind said hole. Weld will not stick to copper, then weld the hole shut and grind it. Now if there are tiny pin holes in the weld you can fill them with body material like metal fil or bondo.
if it is a LARGE void I would cut a piece of sheetmetal and butt weld a patch in.
I welded all of these side molding clip holes shut using the copper method, worked great. You will have to run the piece of copper under cold water every few holes though.
