Next he said to take a wide putty knife and scrape off any excess before it dries,. To finish it he said the white spray paint from the dollar store is more than good enough.

This is a plywood cored dash on a 35 Cig and is pretty representitive of most offshore boats . I start by grinding the inside surface with a 3" 36 grit disk. Cut a piece of fiberglass cloth, the heavier the better, to fit with at least an inch or so of overlap from the original hole. I use a 24 0z. bi-ax cloth because it can easily support itself when saturated. Wetout the fiberglass and apply to the inside surface and allow that to cure before doing anything else. I use polyester for repairs like this because the finish work is much easier and i doubt you will really benifit much from an epoxy.
