How Would You Fix Small Hole in Oil Pan (a la mexicana)?

There was a Popular Mechanics article back in the day that they repaired a porous oil pan with an entire tube of JBWeld. They drained the oil and let it drip overnight. Then took a scraper and scraped all the surfaces they could access of the pan. Wiped the pan down with acetone to clean. Then they slapped on the entire tube(s) of JBWeld and stucco'd the oil pan. Again sit overnight and filled with oil the next day and drove off leak free. BTW the car was a 1968 Newport 383 in the article.
