[QUOTE="Rat, post: 116743, member: 1914"] Use good Epoxy, if you can't find it locally buy it [url=https://boatbuildercentral.com/proddetail.php?prod=E_kit_3qt]Here: (3 Quart Kit)[/url]. This is the link for the 3 quart kit for < $50, proly all you need. I am not sure what you mean by "fiberglass epoxy" since fiberglass if the matt and epoxy (or Polyester {Bondo}, or vinylester) is the resin. For filling the holes I would use a filler rod like HTS 2000 or similar, especially if you want them to be flush; otherwise you could use pop rivets. I wouldn't use any type of Resin filler unless you can get a backing under the hole, by the time you sand it flush it will be weak. You may be able to flute the holes and use filler, I have always wanted to try this but never have, and I don't know anyone who has either. [/QUOTE]
