Robert,
I've been a Dupont user for over 40 years. (My gawd, that's forever!) What ever type you use make it some type of epoxy, one that you have to not only add a reducer to but a catalyst of some type also.
If you want to go the whole route, befor you prime spray the finished/sanded fiberglass with Dupont's self etching primer for STEEL. The stuff sprays like water and will run in a heartbeat! Light coats only please. It's yellow of all things but the real fiberglass pros will shoot this stuff down first. It rally sucks into the glass and bonds to the poiint where stripper wont pull it out. Seals the glass and body work in more ways than one. For one it will sink into the final sandscratches and it will seal the glass for any more top coats from the primer all the way to the clear coat. Shrinkage even years down the road is practically unheard of!

And that is today's 2-cents worth.......

Woke up this AM and thought this answer was mighty "glib". No offense meant but I have to make a mold/buck first before I can start on the hole. Sometimes I get going faster than the brain thinks!

No offense taken. Just when the hood is ready I would like to get up there early so i can rack your brain for a couple hours or so.

Huckelberry,
Thought of the name, "Velva Seal". Comes as a two part mix, one quart of both will be enough to do the whole car.
