if your doing shaving on a fiberglass car, then use std. fiberglass mat to fill the hole properly, then use a std bondo for shaping, one that says flexible may be of some use depending on the area, i dont know how much those flex. you can use duct tape as a mold on the door handles then use the mat from the inside.

Yes... use flexible filler, but not the BONDO brand. BONDO sucks ***! Like bad! DO NOT USE BONDO BODY FILLER. It will crack... guaranteed!

I am a fan of 3M's body fillers, as they are LIGHTWEIGHT... but any LIGHTWEIGHT filler should be good.
