Lead was used there by the OEM's and those two fillers were marketed as a replacement for lead. It's not a product that will stop rusting of metal under filler.
Epoxy applied first to bare metal then any filler work over epoxy is the modern and best way to apply filler. Mercedes has been requiring that any repair involving filler be done over epoxy since the mid 90's. All OEM's recommend that process now. Epoxy first then filler will last many times longer than filler over bare metal. Adhesion is greatly improved as well. Really the only way filler should be used on anything of value or importance.

I was going to say the same thing but I'm so tired of pointless debates.
