Holes

While scrubbing the black spots off the roof of my 19, I discovered two small holes on the fibreglass lip at the front of the A/C. I think it may have been hail. The holes are about half the size of a dime and the edges are jagged. What would you do or use. Thanks.

Temporary fix would be Eternabond tape. Get a fiberglass kit from an auto or boat store to patch

Keep in mind that once eternabond is applied it is almost impossible to remove

My fix

I'd use Marine Tex, a 2 part epoxy commonly used on fiberglass boat dings. It's white, or whitish, and would likely blend in well.....and not be visible to the eye if not perfectly color matched, unless you're 8-9 feet tall.
