There are a ton of body filler products other there. I don't know which would be best, but making repairs to frames with filler is something a frame painter does all the time and they would know. Perhaps something like this:

This stuff is the jam. It has excellent adhesion, and doesn't shrink like the crap in a tube that dries without a hardener. Plus, the stuff out of a tube is NOT intended for anything deeper than sand scratches; use it at thicknesses greater than 1/16 of an inch and it will never dry. Metal-To-Metal is the way to go.
