Need clarification: name plates

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm not even sure where to post this but anyway. What would be the best way to fill the a5 name plate? I have read that it is the JB welt but it makes bubbles then I read about Labmetal which is apparently better. I have almost no metal work "skills/trades" and want to fill the name plate.

I have searched for other related threads but couldn't find any so if there are could you point me in the right direction.

Re: Need clarification: name plates

personally, i would use bondo and sand and paint it.
bondo is autobody filler, it's putty like, and comes with a small tube of hardener. you mix up some of the putty with a bit of hardener, and spread it on whatever you want, and after acouple hours it gets rock hard, and you can sand it down and paint it. the end result looks really good, it's used for autobody repair work and filling in small cracks and dents, and it's popular in the computer case modding world as well as a filler.

Welcome To Bondo
