Another option is to buy smooth fiberglass sheet in 4" x 36" or 4" x 72" long strip and epoxy that over the holes. 1/8" would be plenty think as this area is not structural. For $10.73 plus shipping, this stuff is amazingly stiff and strong and will save most of your final faring time. You can cut it to shape with regular tools and paint it after. I use 1/4" stuff for making backing plates and the 1/8" stuff for deck pads for hardware. https://www.mcmaster.com/fiberglass-sheets/fiberglass/
