Default Patching Asbestos Siding Shingles

There are a couple of those old asbestos siding shingles on the back of our house that have craters gouged out of them; looks like they got hit with a baseball or something. Any suggestions on what to patch them with? Some sort of exterior epoxy maybe?

If no one gives you a better answer, I'd try Bondo.

....then, because Bondo is porous, sealed it with varnish / shellac to
seal it - paint bright pink if desired.

Replace them. You can still get matching tiles.

JB weld. It is water proof and you can paint to match. WW
