1952 f3 firewall repair question

Hi fellas, I am plug welding a million, zillion holes in my firewall. I know I will have to touch up many of them with my welding skills. I have been using ever coat rage gold on the rest of the truck. Will that work for the firewall or is there another product I should use, due to engine heat, etc. Thanks in advance for your input. Larry

You should be fine using Rage Gold filler.
