How do you feel bout using POR Patch for filling screw holes

I have a series of holes from sheet metal screws that held the clamps that secured the air conditioning tubing I just removed. I was thinking about simply replacing the old screws with stainless steel screws. Now wondering if the POR patch or a combination of POR Patch and stainless screws might be a better choice. Any Thoughts about this or other options?

Here's a link to the POR Patch

I use a dab of black silicone paste from a tube and smooth with a finger.

This... The POR Patch would work well but it would be much harder to remove if needed.

Lousy. Buy some plastic or rubber plugs made for this purpose and install them with some sort of sealant. Look at your car, Porsche used a variety of plugs all over it.

As for the small holes left by a screw, put the screw back in the hole and seal over it.

The POR product is probably just another sealant. You can find dozens of them at any auto parts store. I like 3M products myself.

Like you, I took the screws out for air cond. tubing, but didn't do anything with the holes for quite some time. Now, I'm worried about rust starting in the holes. Is there a good solution for making sure no rust exists in there, and sealing it. Thanks

I used clear flexible Permatex silicone sealant for my AC hose holes.
