Default Filling some small holes

I need to fill a few small screwholes in a fiberglass pedestal. The
fiberglass is shiny and white, so I want to have the holes "disappear" as
much as possible.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

If the holes are small you can just patch them with white gel coat. If
larger, fill them not quite to the top with an epoxy/glass fiber slurry and
then top off the repair with gel coat. After it is dry, use an Xacto knife
to carefully shave off the excess gel coat and then rubbing/polishing
compound or very fine sand paper to complete the job.
