Now I add the reinforcement ground up fiberglass to the epoxy and fill the remainder of the holes just a tiny bit high.

By placing the bondo spreaders on the repairs I make sure no sanding will be needed if mounting the trolling motor on this side. Once cured the bondo spreaders peel right off. I had a couple of small ledges that a razor scraper cut right off. The bondo spreaders will not peel off until the Epoxy is cured so if you try to peel and feel resistance walk away till the Epoxy cures. Give it a extra day. I use the cheap spreaders from Harbor Freight just make sure you put the flat side down. Another thing, Epoxy can be tinted. I could have tinted the Epoxy to match the boat enough to reduce the visibility of the repair if I was not installing a trolling motor over the repaired holes.
