Not really, if they are all that big, then high build will sink into them after time. Use a 2k polyester stopper like Upol topstop. Don't use 1k ones, they are rubbish, take ages to dry, and like primer, will sink in time.

a little something called glaze putty used to fill in pin holes shouldnt really be applied more then 3mm thick though

oh yeh these holes are about 1mm maybe less than that

Do you mean bonnet pin holes? If so have you thought about just converting to pins and using the holes?

[josh.evans]

no pin holes in the filler work only a few though

Why dont you just sand it back and add another skim of filler, that way you dont need to spend more money!!

[cookie4343]

Just mix some more filler and stick a light layer all over the repaired area by light i mean really thin trying to push it into the holes then 180-320 block sand.

I use the same filler, skim over the pin hole very lightly then scrape off any excess with a clean spreader.

A quick, light rub with something fine like 320 on a block will then sort it without taking away any surrounding material or filler work, ready for primer.
