[Boatanchors] Plugging Chassis Holes

I cut a piece of metal exact fit and try to ping it a few places with a 
punch around the perimeter to hold in place
Then I solder it in place all around the seam
Clean and polish and it is done, secure, depending on finishes involved can 
be almost transparent repair

How do you guys PLUG steel chassis holes when refurbishing an old radio?  I 
have been epoxying a backer plate inside a chassis and then filling in on 
top with steel epoxy, then sanding and painting.  This seems to work well 
unless you have obstructions underneath and can live with a visible plate 
inside the chassis.

Is there a good way to do this without a backer plate?
