Some of the plastic (fiberglass?) skirting pieces around my mobile home
have small (1" dia. or so) in them. From hitting by weed cutter cord,
though I doubt it. Probably just decades of weather.

Anyhow, any ideas of something easy to put over the holes, not too obvious?
Save me a ton of money and work.

TIA

Epoxy is good and it comes in several colors.

Thanks.

Epoxy what? I need small sheets of something to cover the holes, then
maybe epoxy that to the skirting.

Vinyl siding? Lots of crawling but wouldn't the patches be less
obvious if you do them from the inside?

Vinyl siding?

I'm unfamiliar with a lot of that material. Example of vinyl siding
please? How does to come - large pieces?

Simple, but didn't think of that! Now to find something to put over the
holes.

I think one can buy single pieces. The pieces are about ten feet
long if I remember correctly. You could probably buy a single piece
and cut it in two at the store to get it home. Tin snips will cut it.
It comes in many colors so you should be able to find something close.

I agree with Dean. A friend had a mobile home several years ago and
he had the same problem with rocks from weed eating and mowing knocking
holes in the skirting. Only thing to be done is replace the damaged
areas.

Not to pick a nit, but Ken is saying "skirting" which in not the same
as "siding" in Dean's link. Skirting can be vertical or horizontal
slats ~ 4 inches wide with a minor space between.

Bondo from an auto store, then a spray with Krylon paint - matching

What's Bondo? Heard the name a few times but that's all I know. Small
sheets of material for covering rust holes in car fenders, etc.?
