Dicor seems to be a highly regarded product, and is UV stable. I have not used it.

My suggestion to use Shoe Goo was just to seal and glue the plug into the hole and provide some additional peace of mind over the mechanical, interference fit - the Shoe Goo would never see the light of day, as it were.
Dicor makes a bunch of different products, notably a "non-sagging" caulk and a "self-leveling" product that seem to be quite popular in the RV community. The non-sag stuff works like traditional caulking that you would apply, smooth and allow to set up. The self-leveling stuff is runnier and kind of pools and puddles before it eventually hardens. The non-sag product is super sticky and - I thought - very hard to achieve a nice finish. The self-leveling product - at least in my case - was better, but was kind of inconsistent in how much it self-leveled. Some areas were great and came out really well, other seemed to skin over and stop 'levelling' before I would have liked them too. It's probably an acquired skill.
For filling holes, the non-sag product would be the best choice: the self-levelling stuff would run right through the holes and make a mess.
