>>For filling of metal or fiberglass surfaces, use "Bondo" which you can get at any auto store and most hardware stores.<<
There's a type of Bondo that has chopped fiberglass strands in it. Works like Bondo but it will harden like fiberglass.
When I installed the refrigeration system in my old sailboat I used it to make some gussets to secure the shelf where the compresor stood. Since I wanted it to conform to the hull sides, making wood gussets would have been quite time consuming, with making templates, fitting, etc.
The local "boat *******" (aka Boat Maintenance Worker <g>) suggested that I hold the shelf with a temporary support, shape the "bondo" gussets by hand (with gloves, of course) and apply them. It worked for the 12 years I had the boat and I suspect that it's probably still holding today.
