I have a few small holes to patch on a ducker and I remember reading a recent post (that I cant find) about a material you can use on aluminum.
 
West Marine Gflex Epoxy. Guess it depends on how you define "small". I used it to seal lacking rivets. Heat the rivet area up with a hot gun, put the epoxy over it, and heat it a little more. The epoxy gets into the rivet voids and seals. This Gfex is also flexible.

dosn't looks good but it works always have a stick in my boat..sounds
similar to other post..easy to use also it is green oil industry uses it for
Pipeline patching...good luck
 
5200. One product, no mixing involved. Just sold my 40 year old aluminum riveted boat. I used every thing you can imagine to seal the ,rivet leaks. Nothing worked as well as 5200.
