    Best way to fill small holes, screw holes, etc in gelcoat/glass

    I have a few small holes/nicks in my boat from screws, nicks, etc. The areas needing to be filled are in the solid white section of a Ranger R82. I don't have any metalflake concerns. What is the best thing to do to fill these holes so that once sanded/buffed they would not be evident or barely evident to others?

    Don't know how it will work on a solid color like white, but the guy that installed my HDS8 filled in the old screw holes on my boat with a clear 2-part epoxy with metal flake mixed in to match the color of the metal flake on my boat.

    Yes it does.
    Haven't had time here lately to do anything. Plus I have had it in the shop having carpet replaced, electronics installed, seats being redone. Supposed to get it back when I get back from work in a few days. Just haven't got to that part of job yet.

    Would have done that part first ,don't have to worry about messing up all the new carpet and stuff, good luck.
