M. Henry,

See the pvtMail I sent you on the 10 step way to dot it the easiest.
Materials;
1. Two or so $0.49 whiting brushes natural bristle 1/2" wide.
2. Smallest polyesther resin and woven roven kit you can buy for patching, Evercoat $12.95. Mooch some from a friend in the boat or vette repair business since it's such a small amount.
3. Aluminum heavy duty foil tape for AirConditioning duct board, smallest roll they have. $3.95.

Less than $20.00 or so to do it, it's just a tedious job to do it right.

Most body shops would epoxy or body fill the slot and not go to a lot of trouble, leaving the eschutcheon plates to cover the "patch".

Good Luck.
