fixing holes

[feadam]

I drilled a couple of small holes that I want to fill. I haven't worked with fiberglass much, so should I body fill with buddy or try resin fiberglass. Holes are small maybe 3/8.

I would go with something like Fibreglass Evercoat 632 Everglass Short Strand Fiber Reinforced Filler which some might say is over kill for holes that size. but can't hurt.

Evercoat 632 will definitely work, as will standard filler. Just make sure the area around the hole and under the hole are scuffed up and clean first. With fiberglass holes, best to do a mechanical bond (e.g. reach around under the body and spread the filler out a little so it sandwiches between the body. If the top where the hole is a sharp 90 deg angle (like from a drill bit), then it's also safe insurance to sand it down a little to get more grip. Body filler doesn't always like sharp 90 deg angles and can be prone to cracking.

thanks, I'll try the filler first
