Which epoxy filler?

[drewpster]

I have to fix everything from minor surface scratches to gouged gelcoat down to the laminate in places on my hull. There are no structural repairs other than four 1/4" screw holes that need to be filled on the transom.

Should I use poly fiberglass resin (cheaper)......or,
Pre-mixed epoxy filler (interfill or watertite) expensive!.....or,
Epoxy resin mixed with cabasil (mixed by me).........or
formula 27 poly marine filler (marine Bondo)...or,
your own suggestion here.

Which should I use? I have some very light scratches to fill so I need a fine filler that will feather-edge. I also have small sections gouged to laminate so I need build-ability with a good bond. All of this is above true water line.

help?

While each one has it's good and bad points, it won't make any difference, they will all work good enough to fill a 1/4" hole above the water line.
