Rather than simply filling it, which isn't a strong repair at all, it should've been feathered on both sides & filled with successive layers of glass until the original thickness is obtained. I wouldn't be happy with that "repair"!
Sounds like done right. Just needs some putty on the back side. Aesthetic reasons mostly.I watched the exterior repair and talked to the guy while he did it so I could learn a little in real life. Feathered the hole, used increasing size circles of mat not directly overlapping, etc. Barrier coat over it all and then bottom paint of course. Stupid me, I had a dozen projects going on, got wrapped up with them and just forgot to get in there and inspect the "finished" job. I email the yard and will see. respected yard and guy, been there 30 some years. I don't have much doubt he will make it right. Will see though.
