If you're going to fibreglass it that will seal it, all you need is something to stop the fibreglass until it sets, even just a bit of flywire rolled up and pushed into the hole.

Try to make sure that you either cut out all the rust or treat it otherwise in the not too distant future you'll be doing it again...
