        Hi guys,

        maybe polyurethane foam and after it dries out you can shape it with a knife and sandpaper.

        Or stuff a large piece of sponge in the calves and then wrap the foot with nylon/cello tape. While wrapping it with nylon/cello tape you can adjust it to give the shape you want.

              Bondo binds to fast (becomes completely hard within just 3 min). The smell is really something indeed. for not very large holes I prefer this water-based wood-filler, it is like clay you can shape it, has almost no smell, dries like clay and easy to clean and cheap

                  I agree with foam to fill the space, then lay some epoxy and fiberglass over that.
