Rage only, or Duraglass + rage topcoat for small rust hole
So both of my rear quarters have the typical honda cancer at the rear of the arch.
Left side seems to just have fairly bad 1 X 2" bubble at the rear of the arch, and the right side rear quarter has a hole right through the fender about the size of a dime but the rust is actually less sever.

Since I dont think I will be welding the hole shut on the right side, would it be best to fiberglass from the back and use rage to fill and flatten?
Or would duraglass throughout be a better idea? Maybe with a rage topcoat..
I already own fiberglass supplies, duraglass short strand and a gallon of rage gold so I was hoping to use them, welding isnt an ideal option for me, so Id like to hear the best way to use the stuff I have.
I can get better pictures but I havent taken any specifically of the rust yet, the right side hole is what Im worried about doing correctly.

you can fill it, rust will keep spreading until you have no choice but to cut the quarter panel out. Invest in cheap used mig welder, do it once and do it right
well obviously Im going to completely remove ALL of the rust. and I have a quart of Por15 to coat the metal.
Im not just going to go right over the rust it will be completely removed

Consider yourself lucky, because the rust isn't that bad. Weld it. I have tried the fiberglass, it doesn't work. If you plan on keeping the car do it right. The rust is much bigger than it looks and it will grow.
It took me many hours to fiberglass my old 91 civic and it rusted up the first winter after that.
