    Default Thoughts on how to plug holes?

    I removed the factory bimini and installed the Monster Cargo Rack this spring. I removed the old hardware and want to plug the holes in the fiberglass to clean up the look.

    Any thoughts on what to use & where to buy? I was looking at some automotive fasteners, but can only find in black.

    Here is a pic of the holes:

    In the hardware dept of Home Depot they sell little plastic hole plugs in all different sizes- usually in white or black but you could paint them if you needed too. The right size plug in the right color would make the holes a lot less obvious.

    Consider a little two part epoxy putty. Finish with matching fingernail polish. I have not used the epoxy before, but I did cover an area of missing gell coat with fingernail polish and it has held up for several years.... Not totally invisible, but acceptable in my book.
    If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.

    I have two options since I had the same problem. I used a nonskid on my back holes and filled the other holes with Marine-Tex, should be close in color for you. I had to add a dab of black to match platinum. Green in the mail DUDE.
