Boy G, what I can say is there's a whole lot more rust on the inside of the panel if there's a pinhole on the outside. This is a dime sized perforation of an otherwise rust free rear upper floor panel that has been media blasted on both sides, etch primed and sitting high and dry in my garage for the last 5 years. But thanks for your reply G Edit .just found it online . Only works for aluminum

i have repaired pin holes with brazing rod like you describe with aluminum. if using brazing rod make sure you blast it really good. the flux required for the brass can make paint problems later.
or maybe try some acid core solder.

You can't use that crap on steel - its for aluminum only. Like the last poster said, you'll want to use a bronze brazing rod on that and even then, brazing rod is for joining metal, not "filling". I'd be surprised if you could get the base metal hot enough for the brazing rod to melt without it first blowing away on you - if there are pin holes you can be sure its pretty damn thin in the surrounding area !! Good luck.
And you're not going to fill a "dime size" hole that way.

I've seen a small portion of a roof that had pinholes leaded as a repair. But a hole the size of a dime is going to take more than even that.
