Default shaving emblems on front bumper???

I asked this before, but can't find the thread. How do I fill the holes left on the bumper when the emblem is removed. I have the "bumper repair kit, two part mixture". It worked great when I fixed my front lip, but not sure if I should use it to fill the holess in the bumper.

DC Integra. The bumper isn't metal, so welding isn't an option. Bondo isn't a good idea from what I've heard. Any other options?

Fill the holes with fiberglass, then use bondo if necessary.

1.Rough up the back of the bumper around the holes with a grinder.

2. Lay down a couple sheets of fiberglass so that there is a backing to the holes.

3. Use Plastic Body filler to plug up the holes, not regular bondo.

4. Sand and repaint.

I have this "bumper repair kit, two part mixture", will it work as the plastic body filler? It's a Bondo by-product, but it's nothing like bondo. Two tubes of gunk, one is a Epoxy Resin, the other, Epoxy Hardener. Mix together and go!
