Its been my belief that West systems two part in a tube is a epoxy product, and gel coat won`t stick to epoxy. To fill a hole with 5200 would be a cruel joke, as it is an adhesive, not a filler. It will sag in the hole, and make a mess, and is not sandable. Gorilla glue is a good choice, and is activated by water or moist foam in the hull. Just a little dab will do it, and it can be sanded and topped by finishing putty and painted or gelled.
