If you put a piece of aluminum behind the hole while you are welding it will help you fill the hole easier and it doesn't stick to the aluminum so it's easy to pull off after.

wrap a section of the aluminum casue its gonna act as a heat sink and warm up with welding, you fingers will love you for it.

^^Might want to add some anti spatter to the aluminum piece. Personal experience with aluminum as a backing plate is that it does stick, just not well. If you have access to it, a thick piece of brass or copper also works well.
