There are several methods, but the bottom fill is going to be the
easiest. Not normally necessary to tape the air hole shut unless you
are leaving it out of the printer for a long time, in which case the
bottom hole would need to be plugged, too.

What method are you going to try using? Print the rosin and sprinkle
solder on it?
