Make sure the area is well cleaned with Meths or cellulose thinners befor applying.

Metal filled epoxy can be purchased in a twin tube pack, similar to araldite and is mixed and applied in the same way.

It is very strong when hard and files like metal.

But why bother to fill anyway The nicks are well inside the gasket line... if really bothered by the nicks then file them out rather than fill with something that could come loose one day. If it were mine I wouldn't bother doing anything with them, but concentrate more on doing a good job of fitting the new 'good quality' gasket set
