hello ken,
i don't know if this is the correct response, so take it for what's it worth.
what i did with my stitch holes is fist go over them w/ unthicked expoxy, and then about 24 hours later i took a cheap plastic putty knife and applied a tiny amount of thickened epoxy over each hole. don't worry, it takes no time at all and very little resin. i used west system miro-ballons. easy sanding stuff, i think it was nine bucks for a can that faired out my entire boat.
hope this helps, post pics when you can.
