Question Holes in fiberglass, edge treatment?

This is a question for those with experience/expertise in fiberglass 911 body parts. We are preparing a fiberglass front valence for painting and mounting. The are holes required to be drilled for the mounting brackets and deco trim. After drilling the holes is there a recommended hole edge treatment? Sealer or epoxy? Thanks, Jim

A nice clean way to do it is to sand the area around the hole, then coat the surrounding area and the 'inside' of the hole with resin. When it's cured, sand it flat again. This keeps the fibers from poking out and the edge from fraying.
