I do not fill rust holes in the body with fillers(or newspaper and carboard). I weld metal patches over the holes and use fillers to finish the repair. If it is a small repair, I weld the patch solid. If it is larger, I spot weld the panel in...less chance of body warpage and the need for more fillers. Each repair is sealed on the outside with duraglas and on the inside with undercoat if applicable. I also use 3M weld-thru coating on the weld seam to resist corrosion. Both sides of the repair are sealed as well as the weld joint. Any more questions feel free to ask.
