Yep I was just going to mention this. Fiberglass should work but it would depend on how big the damage was AND if a screen was used from behind. Personally I would just use some black silicon sealer. It's around $3.00 a tube, is already color coded, and it's rubber, so it's as flexible as it gets Do a little at a time (1/4 inch) and not the whole repair at once, it will bond better.
