Marek, I've filled holes from below using West System epoxy w 404 filler, mixed thick like peanut butter so you could push it up from below with a putty knife. I get it filled in and add a little extra, then cover with 3M Heavy Duty Clear Shipping Tape to prevent sagging. Wait till next day and remove tape and sand flush.
