If you are patching with a fiberglass or plasric filler make sure it
uses an epoxy resin, not polyester. An epoxy/glass filler seals the
patch. Polyester filler is porous and does not seal out water. You
can
use bondo to profile after the hole is patched.

Well said!

Gunner, who does a lot of fiberglass work on boats


If I had a good recommendation for a specific epoxy auto body rust
repair product I would be trying it.

I gave you the recommendation. West systems epoxy and either chop mat
ot woven glass mat well filled and pressed securely into place over
the perforated metal, well cleaned on both sides if possible. Let the
resin soak through and get onto the back of the body material.


West systems is good..but ****merunning its expensive. And there are
other Epoxies (only use epoxy) that are much cheaper and work as well
OR better than West Systmes

I would recommend a Marine grade though....
