It's like solder.  It would run through large holes, tough to get them to
fill.  For larger holes you need to close the hole with a bit of tin
first, then lead over it.

If you're careful you can fill pin holes.  I used it on a MGA rear fender
dog leg that looked like swiss cheese, lots of little pin holes and
pretty thin in places.  Not only did it fill the pin holes, but also
restored the thickness and strength of the sheet metal.
